*Correction - Each maglev train is unique and may include any number of cars in its consist, but typically a relatively small number simply due to platform lengths and power limitations. So this number may range from 2 to as high as 20, but expect 2 to 8 cars depending on the system.

There is a low speed maglev train in Nagoya Japan called the Linimo, as well as a high-speed maglev train called the Shanghai Transrapid which links Shanghai International Airport and a transit station in Shanghai, China. There are also experimental maglev test lines in Daejeon, South Korea; Yamanashi, Japan; and Power Springs, Georgia, United States. A test facility in Emsland, Germany also just recently closed.
A small, three car maglev train weighs more or less 100 tons, so they are relatively light trains.
The Chinese city of Shanghai is reported to have a Maglev train in commercial use. The Japanese and Germans are working on Maglevs so are the USA.
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
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.

The maximum speed of a Maglev (magnetic levitation) train on a test track in japan was 581km/h. In Shanghai, a Maglev train routinely runs to the airport at 431km/h.
Maglev by far, based in shanghai china
It's in China! Basically it' s a maglev train going up to 431 km/h in service and hitting 501 km/h on tests! It's a 30.5 km line between Shanghai and Shanghai airport. ;)

There are several bullet train services in China. One of them is the Maglev, between Shanghai Pudong Airport and the Metro system.
The fastest train of the world operates in Shanghai, China. It's called the 'Shanghai Maglev' and have a maximum operational speed of 430km/h and regularly operates at an average speed of 251km/h.
The fastest train in the world (July 2010) is the Chinese Shanghai Maglev Train. In test runs, it achieved a speed of 311 mph, (501 km/h).
The idea of Maglev is used for large scale transportation of passengers via train. It currently holds the top speed record for railway transport, and they are unaffected by the weather.
Here's the brief history of The Maglev Train. Maglev's Full Form is Magnetic Levitation. 1902- First magnetic train invented by Alfred Zehden of Germany. 1959-Design for first magnetic train made. 1979-First magnetic train built in Hamburg, Germany. (it was closed three months later) 1984-First magnetic train that people can ride built in Birmingham, England. (it was closed in 1995) More Maglev (magnetic levitation) trains were made and closed. 2004-First high-speed maglev train that people can ride on opened in Shanghai, China.
