Public debut of 600km/h (373mph) superfast train will slash journey times as China builds out its high-speed rail network.

However, in neighboring China, the Shanghai Transrapid, a maglev train system, is trying to put some of those fears to rest (while simultaneously being described as a white elephant). The train ...

Japan’s cutting-edge Maglev train is set to redefine high-speed rail, reaching speeds of 500 km/h by using superconducting magnetic levitation. This video explores the advanced technology behind the ...

Maglev trains are capable of much higher speeds, such as 300 mph to 500 mph. Such an intercity and interurban system could make use of the highly underutilized train depots as transportation hubs ...

During a pivotal test of China's ingenuity in maglev train design, its ultra-high-speed (UHS) maglev transportation system reached the breakneck speed of 621 mph (1,000 km/h).

“Florida recently approved a plan to build a magnetically levitated, or maglev, train system that would begin operating in 1996,” wrote senior contributing editor Chris O’Malley, further ...

Since it first opened in 1964, Japan's high-speed rail system has been one of the country's most celebrated achievements. These trains, called Shinkansen, are known to English speakers as bullet ...

This is a huge boon, as the maglev demo proves that Europe could utilize the more than 360,000 kilometers (224,000 miles) of rail tracks found in Europe’s rail system.

Op-ed: I’ve followed the D.C. to Baltimore high-speed train proposal for close to a decade. Our residents deserve better ...

The system also promises clean, green, and rapid travel. By using electricity to hover on a cushion of air, maglev trains can cut carbon emissions without sacrificing performance.

While China, with a maglev train hitting 650 km/h (404 mph) in just seven seconds, might regard the achievement as cute, it ...
