A similar model caught fire at the Kyushu Test Track in 1979, leading to a redesign of the MLU series vehicles MLU001's superconducting magnet and a liquid helium tank on top of it JR–Maglev MLX01-1 at SCMaglev and Railway Park, Nagoya, April 2013 MLX01-3 preserved at the RTRI facility in Kokubunji, Tokyo, October 2015
Some maglev trains do incorporate wheels and function like linear motor-propelled wheeled vehicles at slower speeds but levitate at higher speeds. This is typically the case with electrodynamic suspension maglev trains. Aerodynamic factors may also play a role in the levitation of such trains. MLX01 Maglev train superconducting magnet bogie
On 16 April 2015, a manned seven-car L0 series trainset reached 590 km/h (370 mph), breaking the previous world record of 581 km/h (361 mph) set by a Japanese MLX01 maglev train set in December 2003. The speed of 590 km/h was sustained for a period of 19 seconds. [24]
Improved L0 Series maglev train in August 2020. On 2 December 2003, MLX01, a three-car train set a world record speed of 581 km/h (361 mph) in a manned run. On 16 November 2004, it also set a world record for two trains passing each other at a combined speed of 1,026 km/h (638 mph).

An L0 Series trainset, holding the non-conventional train world speed record of 603 km/h (375 mph) TGV 4402 (operation V150) reaching 574.8 km/h (357 mph). The world record for a conventional wheeled passenger train is held by a modified French TGV high-speed (with standard equipment) code named V150, set in 2007 when it reached 574.8 km/h (357.2 mph) on a 140 km (87 mi) section of LGV Est ...

Based on current and foreseeable technology, these speeds will more than likely be reached predominantly by maglev trains. The two most prominent maglev trains are the Transrapid with a maximum speed of 550 km/h (342 mph) and the Japanese MLX01, which holds the world land speed record for rail vehicles at 581 km/h (361 mph).
