Under current technology, no. A maglev train cannot handle the weight of freight that would make it efficient.

Most farmers who lived in the west and south depended on to carry their wheat cotton and tobacco to market?
Freight trains (APEX)
Can maglev vehicles be used as freight movers?
Unless technology makes some significant advances, steel wheels on steel rails pulled by traction engines is more economical and easier to run lines where you want.
What were diese trains used for?
Diesel trains are used for freight and sometimes they're used for passenger trains.
What force is used in Maglev trains?
(Electro) magnetism. magnetic attraction and repulsion.
What is maglev?
"magnetic" "levitation" A cute way to make trains float - thus reducing rolling friction, but NOT air friction.
What are maglev trains used for?
Maglev trains were developed for efficient passenger operations, both for high volume short lines at relatively low speeds, and for very high speed inter-city travel.
What other ways could maglev be used as?
This cannot be answered in the way it was asked. Maglev refers to magnetic levitation trains. This is limited to passenger trains. There are many systems in use on a maglev train system, not simply magnetic levitation - the magnetic levitation is in use in other systems, such as manufacturing, and has even been examined as a part of launching space vehicles, but is not referred to as "maglev".
What transportation does Ireland use to trade?
Freight, aeroplanes and boats. Trains and freight are used to move goods inside the country.
When were maglev trains first being used?
MagLev trains were first designed by a German man named Hermann Kemper. he was the first man to design and patent a MagLev train. The first MagLev train to be built and used was designed by Thyssen Henschel, another German, in the 1970's. The first passenger-carrying MagLev train was introduced in 1979 at the International Transportation Exposition in Hamburg, Germany. Thus began the MagLev train.
When was the first maglev train invented?
Electromagnetism was discovered in 1911 and it led to the mag-lev trains. These trains made rail travel much faster and used less energy.
Where were maglev trains invented?
The Maglev train (also known as the Magnetic Levitation train) was invented in Germany, by a man named Alfred Zehden, in 1902.+++The Linear Motor which is used to propel the levitated trains, was invented in Britain, in the 1960s I think, but sadly not developed here.in japan The technology in use for the Japanese MagLev was invented by two US inventors and was sold to the Japanese when no US investors could be found to proceed with a full-scale maglev in the US. The American prototype maglev train they made was only 3 feet long. A German maglev, using a different technology, was invented and built at about the same time, with the German maglev in use prior to the Japanese maglev.
When were maglev trains invented?
== == The Maglev train was first invented in 1902. It was invented from a German man named Alfred Zehden of Germany.The first operational Maglev train was The Transrapid 05used at the International Transport Exhibition in 1979; and later used a s a commuter transport in Kassel, Germany.
