>From Campbelltown Chronicle 3/10/00

Campbelltown's new mayor Jim Kremmer is leading a push for the latest in fast, hi-tech rail transport,

Mr Kremmer....... said he was hoping to arrange for the "Mag-lev Consortium" to talk to council about the benefits of trains powered
by magnetic levitation. "Shanghai has now put in its first magnetic levitation high-speed train," .......

"Wheel-on-steel trains have reached the end of their development. The next step is to get 21st century technology into Campbelltown.
Speed rail from Sydney to Melbourne would take five hours. But magnetic levitation trains would take 2 1/2."
