Maglev: Yamanashi Maglev Test Line, Japan: 12 December 1997: Three-car train set. Former world speed record for maglev trains. 552 (343) MLX01: Maglev: Yamanashi Maglev Test Line: 14 April 1999: Five-car train set. Former world speed record for maglev trains. 581 (361) MLX01: Maglev: Yamanashi Maglev Test Line: 2 December 2003: Three-car train set.
A seven-car train set a land speed record for rail vehicles of 603 km/h (375 mph) on 21 April 2015. [5] The trains run at a maximum speed of 500 km/h (311 mph), [ 6 ] offering journey times of 40 minutes between Tokyo ( Shinagawa Station ) and Nagoya , and 1 hour 7 minutes between Tokyo and Osaka .
It set a world record speed for a manned train of 603 km/h (375 mph) on 21 April 2015. [52] On 26 March 2020, the Improved L0 Series started operations on the test track. It represents the completion of 80–90% of the design goals for the final train, and is the first to draw power from the track. Previous models used on-board gas generators.
Transrapid 09 at the Emsland test facility in Lower Saxony, Germany A full trip on the Shanghai Transrapid maglev train Example of low-speed urban maglev system, Linimo. Maglev (derived from magnetic levitation) is a system of rail transport whose rolling stock is levitated by electromagnets rather than rolled on wheels, eliminating rolling resistance.
Old Dominion University maglev: In 1999, Old Dominion University agreed to work with American Maglev of Atlanta to construct an on-campus student transportation link of less than 1-mile (1.6 km) — using a smart train / dumb track design in which most sensors, magnets, and computation were located on the train rather than the track.

' Linear Railway Museum: Museum of Dreams and Memories ') is a railway museum owned by the Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) in Nagoya, Japan. [1] The museum opened on 14 March 2011. [2] The museum features 39 full-size railway vehicles and one bus exhibit, train cab simulators, and model railway dioramas. [3]
An HSST train at the Expo '85 Exhibition, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, 1985 An HSST train at the YES'89 Exhibition, Yokohama, 1989 A Linimo HSST-100L train. High Speed Surface Transport (HSST) is a Japanese maglev train system which uses electromagnetic levitation technology. [1] The Linimo line in Aichi Prefecture, Japan uses a descendant of HSST technology.
The super-speed Transrapid maglev system has no wheels, no axles, no gear transmissions, no steel rails, and no overhead electrical pantographs.The maglev vehicles do not roll on wheels; rather, they hover above the track guideway, using the attractive magnetic force between two linear arrays of electromagnetic coils—one side of the coil on the vehicle, the other side in the track guideway ...
