The Chuo Shinkansen is a superconducting maglev line being built between Osaka and Tokyo Japan. Currently, a test facility in Yamanashi Japan is being upgraded to be a part of the final 272-mile corridor. The first phase of the train is expected to be open in 2027, and the full corridor by 2045.
Germany and Japan operate Maglev trains, however, they are also in operation (small scale) in Great Britain.
In Shanghai, Japan, France (testing), Germany (also testing), and USA (still also testing).

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.
It cannot. The magnets used for a maglev train must be engineered and built at very tight tolerances to allow a maglev train to function. Each magnet is specifically built for the maglev train, they cannot be "strengthened" versions of a magnet not made specifically for the train.
A small, three car maglev train weighs more or less 100 tons, so they are relatively light trains.

The maglev train floats over its track using an electromagnet. Maglev trains have managed speeds in excess of 370mph. A model of the maglev train uses two permanent magnets to get the model to float over the track.Describe how the magnets must be arranged to get the model Maglev Train to float.

Magnetism elevates the maglev train because like forces repel. Maglev trains are not suspended, but are elevated.
no
The levitation of a maglev train is controlled by safety critical microprocessors (computers).
It doesn't. The maglev train is engineered for weight distribution that is unaffected by normal loading.
You must mean a Maglev train. A Maglev train operates on maglev (magnetic levitation). It uses electromagnets (and possibly superconductors) that repel each other to lift the train above the ground to reduce as much friction as possible.
Under current technology, no. A maglev train cannot handle the weight of freight that would make it efficient.
They get on from an opening passage way that comes out of the maglev train
Maglev is a contraction of Magnetic Levitation. Magnets of the same polarity are used to levitate the train so that there is no friction between train and rail. Electromagnets of opposing polarity are switched on in sequence ahead of the train to pull it forward.
