Germany To Build New Maglev Railway

Posted by kdawson on from the riding-on-a-cloud dept.

EWAdams writes "According to the BBC, the Bavarian state government has announced that it has signed an agreement with Deutsche Bahn, the German state railway system, and the Transrapid consortium, to provide a maglev railway between central Munich and its airport. The only other maglev in full operation at the moment is in Shanghai, again as a city-to-airport service. The cost of the system is estimated at $2.6 billion. No completion date has been announced."

  1. Will they use Jewish slave labour? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    So, will they use Jewish slave labour to build the new train?

    I am sure this would be very popular, given Germany's large Muslim population.
