Vote for Toomey: Conservatism's future

Pennsylvanians decide today if conservatism means something and is worth fighting for, or if it is an abstract principle rendered impractical by unprincipled political imprudents masquerading as "pragmatists."

Do you have any good (non-technical) links where I could brush up?

Might as well go straight to the source:

Federal Railroad Administration: High-Speed Ground Transportation (High-speed rail AND Maglev)
Federal Railroad Administration: About the MAGLEV Deployment Program
Maglev of Pennsylvania or Baltimore-Washington Maglev (The two projects competing AGAINST each other)
Transrapid International -- the German Maglev builder whose technology was built in Shanghai and will be used in either Pittsburgh OR Baltimore-Washington.

I have other info available on other competing Maglev technologies as well, but Transrapid is by far the most maturely developed and most probable for initial use in the U.S..

A search on "Maglev" in the FR archives will turn up some articles for a maglev people shuttle on the campus of Old Dominion University by a Lockheed associated company called American Maglev. It's finally starting to get going again after experiencing some minor technical difficulties magnified by funding snafus. (Not surprising: the project is actually quite amazing considering the comparatively skimpy shoestring budget!)

Hope that's enough to get ya going.
