Hyperloop One, formally known as Hyperloop Technologies, demoed its propulsion technology in North Las Vegas, Nevada on Wednesday.
The test consisted of sending the company's linear motor down an open air test track on a sled at more than 100 miles per hour.
We had the chance to visit the site and witness the testing first hand.
Here’s what it was like to watch the historic event.
We were told to arrive at the Palazzo Hotel at 8:45 AM to check-in for the event. From here they loaded all of us journalists onto buses to make the trek to Hyperloop One’s test site.
Cadie Thompson/Tech InsiderThe test site is located at the Mountain View Industrial Park in Apex Industrial Park in North Las Vegas. It’s about a 35 minute drive from the Las Vegas Strip and there’s not much along the way except desert.
