"Work on Old Dominion Universitys stalled experimental maglev train should soon be back on track now that lawsuits against its builder and the university have been settled and a $2 million federal grant needed to fix technical problems has been approved... Scientists and engineers will resume the task of trying to fix vibrations that have plagued the controversial magnetic levitation project, which has cost $14 million in public and private money and was to have begun ferrying students across campus in September 2002."
