What is the difference between a train and electromagnetic train?
A typical train has wheels and rolls on metal rails. It's drive wheels are driven by a steam engine, a Diesel engine, or even electric motors powered by the rail system or overhead wires. An electromagnetic train, on the other hand, does not ride on wheels, or have an engine, per se. It is suspended from it's track by a powerful magnetic field generated by electro-magnets in the track and train. In addition to providing suspension of the train, the magnetic fields are used to propel the train itself, so it does not need an "engine" at all.
