Money Problems May Derail First U.S. MagLev Train
PSaltyDS writes "The Virginian Pilot is reporting on the trials and tribulations of what was supposed to be the first MagLev train in regular use in the U.S. The MagLev Project was to cover a portion of the Old Dominion University campus, and start service in 2002, but after $14 million spent, it has yet to carry a single passenger. In the article, several engineering types seem to say the same thing, something like 'A great idea that is just too hard to do without an unlimited budget.' Is a maglev train an impractical fantasy like the personal flying car?"
An economy.
It goes from God, to Jerry, to me.
Yes, yes it is. Someone better go tell the Japanese that their train doesn't exist...
Because they've been building useless things like MagLev trains.
But it is a Japanese crapper, it plays music and has a motorised seat.
