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.

What is electromagnet train?
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.
How does magnetism keep the cars suspended on a maglev train?
Maglev trains use powerful magnets to create a magnetic field that repels the train from the tracks, allowing for levitation and propulsion. The system keeps the train hovering at a specific distance from the track, reducing friction and allowing for high-speed travel.
Who is the inventor of the maglev train?
The concept of a magnetic levitation train was first proposed by Robert Goddard, an American engineer and physicist, in the early 1900s. However, the first practical maglev train system was developed by German engineer Hermann Kemper in the 1930s.
Does weight affect the speed of a maglev train?
Weight does not directly affect the speed of a maglev train since it relies on magnetic levitation for propulsion. However, a heavier train may require more energy to accelerate and maintain speed. Additionally, the infrastructure and track design may have weight restrictions that could indirectly impact the operational speed of the maglev train.
Why is that a maglev train is faster than a normal train?
Maglev trains are faster than normal trains because they use magnetic levitation to reduce friction between the train and the tracks, allowing them to reach higher speeds. Additionally, maglev trains do not have wheels, which eliminates the rolling resistance experienced by traditional trains on tracks.
What does the maglev train need to work?
Magnetic Rails
Why is the maglev train called the maglev train?
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
What type of train uses magnets?
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.
What does the maglev need to work?
Magnetic Rails
Does Italy have Maglev train?
no
What controls the levitation of the cars of a Maglev train?
The levitation of a maglev train is controlled by safety critical microprocessors (computers).
How does balance effect the maglev train?
It doesn't. The maglev train is engineered for weight distribution that is unaffected by normal loading.
How do you people get on maglev trains?
They get on from an opening passage way that comes out of the maglev train
How does a maglev run?
A Maglev (magnetic Levitation) runs in a new technology. Maglev work by magnets. There are large rotating magnets built onto the sides of the track and train. This causes the Maglevs to levitate. This is possible by electromagnetic suspension.
