First U.S. MagLev Runs Into Problems
Readers discuss the problems faced by the project to build the first U.S. Maglev train in regular use.
"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.
