All,

Do you need to find EVERYTHING about MAGLEV (from high speed to low speed systems) you will want to check out Magnetbahnforums.

MAGLEV TR09 Posters.  
If you ever wanted a piece of MAGLEV history the Henschel-Museum in Germany is selling Posters of the TR09...breakaway views... Shanghai...etc.  Prices are in Euros... and dont include shipping.  (Please pardon the quality of the photos... they want to sell posters)



Transrapid within its site still has its Screensaver for Shanghai still available for download.  You can find the directions from the Magnetbahn forums in both GERMAN and ENGLISH (scroll down).  Unfortunately this is only available for PC, NO MAC download is available.

Nv. Congress Candidate Questions DX project.

All,
This is a post from the Facebook page of California/Nevada Maglev Team.


There was an interview for Dina Titus (Candidate for Nevada Congressional District 1....(which covers all of the Clark County area) Nevada Newsmakers (a political Q&A type show).


Candidate Titus, was asked the question about her view about Sen. Reid and the DX project and the Richard Velotta article in Vegas Inc. 


http://www.vegasinc.com/news/2012/mar/26/dear-desertxpress-developers-has-your-project-gone/


Candidate Titus said that she was on the Ca/Nv Super Speed Train Commission for years, and even questioned the DX project against Reid, asking why only go half the way when you can go all the way to LA reaching more riders "one way to the other end and not stopping in the middle."   


She was also questioned about the $45 million that was earmarked for MAGLEV taken away by Sen Reid for the airport expansion.  


You can watch the video around the 13:00 mark.
