Well, I was just thinking of large payloads, not people. I picture a huge rail running up along the side of some tall mountian. I remember reading a book (it may have been "The Moon is a harsh Mistress") where the moon was a prison colony that was raising grain and mag-railed capsules back to the earth full of grain, but then the prisioners took control and then started shooting huge bolders back at earth ect...
