While it's not yet operational, China has been testing a magnetic levitation (maglev) train, the CR450 and successfully clocked speeds exceeding 620 miles per hour. For a bit of context, your average ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Imagine gliding across long distances at nearly 400 miles per hour on a train that floats silently above its tracks. No rattling ...

The transportation landscape is experiencing a remarkable shift with the emergence of maglev technology. These magnetic levitation trains hover above their tracks using powerful magnets, eliminating ...

I disagree with the recent commentary by Angelette C. Aviles opposing the proposed Northeast Maglev high-speed train (“Why Maryland’s maglev dream doesn’t track,” April 21). I respect her perspective, ...

The science behind a bullet train's incredible speed has advanced to the point that they no longer need wheels to stay on the tracks. There are some magnetic trains that do use rubber wheels until ...

Until recently, Maglev trains were being considered for passenger service between Washington, D.C., and Baltimore and eventually between Washington, D.C., and New York City. Unlike traditional ...

Something to look forward to: The risk of generating dangerous shockwaves when exiting tunnels has long challenged high-speed rail systems. As maglev trains reach higher speeds, the problem becomes ...

Japan is currently developing the world’s fastest train, the L0 Series, which is a Japanese maglev train being produced and tested by the Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central). This train is ...

I just don’t understand the logic of those who are opposing the possibility of a maglev train here in Maryland (“Why Maryland’s maglev dream doesn’t track,” April 21). A majority of people don’t know ...

Imagine gliding across long distances at nearly 400 miles per hour on a train that floats silently above its tracks. No rattling wheels, no jolts, just a smooth, whisper-quiet ride. This is the ...
