What is the advantage of this over a classic electric train? Weight of the locomotive? I think it is more than compensated by the ease of having more than one train on a line at a given time.

An electric cable seems way easier to maintain (and repair) than an atmospheric sealed tube.

And this has absolutely no relation with hyperloop, that solves a completely different problem (air drag at high speed)
