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).

State-owned CRRC showed off a prototype magnetic levitation, or “maglev”, train in Beijing last week at the 17th Modern Railways exhibition. Unlike ordinary trains, maglevs do not run on ...

The Toronto Zoo, home to myriad famous baby animals, wants to install a fully functional Magnetic Levitation (maglev) train atop what used to be known as the Canadian Domain Ride. It's exactly as ...

The Shanghai maglev, for instance, cost an estimated $60mn (€55mn) per mile of track. Another longstanding barrier for maglev trains is the inability to run them on existing infrastructure.

The Maglev, short for superconducting magnetic trains, has been in the making since the 1970s, a joint effort by the Central Japan Railway Company and the Railway Technical Research Institute.

The Maglev high-speed magnetic levitating train runs 30 km. between China’s Shanghai Pudong International Airport and the city’s Longyang Road Metro bus and train hub.

China, meanwhile, already claims the world's fastest operating levitating train, the Shanghai-Hangzhou Maglev, capable of a max operating speed of 431 kmph, or more than 265 mph.
