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.
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. ;)
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.
Magnetic Rails
maglev is short for Magnetic Levitation.
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.
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).
A small, three car maglev train weighs more or less 100 tons, so they are relatively light trains.
