[1] It was developed in partnership with the company American Maglev Technology (AMT) from Georgia and with funding coming from Dominion Virginia Power, Lockheed Martin, and the state.

[5] The system has been completely torn down, with the only part remaining being a section of the concrete guideway that spans overtop Hampton Boulevard.

[10] The vehicle failed to reach its proposed speed of 40 miles per hour, instead only roughly moving around 45 feet before coming to a stop[11] and it made bumping and rattling noises, in addition to vibrating.

[12] Due to these issues, it would be announced they would focus on researching maglev technology instead of aiming to get the system operational for public transport.

[13] A 12-foot-long bogie was successfully tested in 2009,[16] which led to plans to continue further development with MagneMotion using a new prototype vehicle built by the company.

[17] Later on in 2010, a majority of the existing metal track except for a section near Powhatan Avenue was sold off for scrap money to continue research,[18] along with the demolition of what was built of one of the stations.

[5][6] According to an ODU press report, the maglev system would have featured a singular train that ran in intervals of four minutes, with a planned top speed of 40 miles per hour and a capacity of 140.
