*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. ;)
You can travel on a maglev train in a few countries, notably in Japan and China. Japan's Shinkansen, specifically the Chuo Shinkansen line, features maglev technology and connects Tokyo to Nagoya. In China, the Shanghai Maglev Train operates between Shanghai Pudong International Airport and the city center, showcasing the technology's speed and efficiency. Other countries are exploring maglev systems, but these are the most prominent operational examples.

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.
As of October 2023, countries that operate maglev trains include Japan, with its famous Shinkansen maglev line, and China, which has the Shanghai Maglev Train and several other projects under development. South Korea has also developed a maglev train system, and Germany pioneered the technology with the Transrapid project. Other countries, such as the United States, have proposed maglev projects but have not yet implemented operational systems.
Japan is one of the leading countries that utilizes maglev (magnetic levitation) transport, particularly known for its Shinkansen maglev train, which operates between Tokyo and Nagoya. China also employs maglev technology, notably in the Shanghai Maglev Train, which connects the city to its airport. Other countries, like Germany, have experimented with maglev systems, but Japan and China are the most prominent users of this technology for commercial transport.
