What does a MAG-LEV train need to work?

Two opposing magnets (North in the track and South in the train or vice versa), and a heck of a lot of electricity! * Added - To expand on the over simplification above - powerful electro-magnets are placed in the maglev guideway and in the maglev vehicles. A sophisticated computer control system pulses the magnets to provide both upward lift, forward propulsion, and braking. This lets the maglev move and stop in a straight line - for an actual train, there are many more subsystems and components for the train to actually work.
