[edit] Contradiction: Skylink topspeed

I have seen multiple conflicting sources for the topspeed of the Skylink train system.

The Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport page claims that the topspeed is 50mph.
The DFW Airport Website claims that the topspeed is 35mph, but the content is a little old, even though it has been updated at least once since Skylink's opening in 2005.
The Lea+Elliott company website, who worked with Bombardier in developing Skylink, claims that the topspeed is 37mph.

Maybe if someone could contact the various sources involved to get the actual value? Probably not though. For now I just have it marked as 35-37mph. RedPoptarts 12:21, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

After a pretty exhaustive search, the only justification I can find for the 50 mph claim is at [1], which clearly states that the automated people mover planned for Dulles airport will move at 50 mph. The same document reinforces the 35 mph claim substantiated elsewhere for the Skylink system at DFW. The Dulles people mover has the luxury of generally straight paths to follow, which makes higher speeds more attainable.

In any case, barring an actual source that shows the 50 mph claim for Skylink to be justified, I do not believe there is a valid dispute. I have deleted the tags from this article and will proceed to clean up the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport article now. Mmccalpin 17:44, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
