L0 Series maglev train at Yamanashi test track. The SCMaglev (superconducting maglev, formerly called the MLU) is a magnetic levitation railway system developed by Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) and the Railway Technical Research Institute.
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 will run at a maximum speed of 500 km/h (311 mph) in commercial service, [ 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. [54] 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.
The highest-recorded maglev speed is 603 kilometres per hour (375 mph), achieved in Japan by JR Central's L0 superconducting maglev on 21 April 2015, [110] 28 kilometres per hour (17 mph) faster than the conventional TGV wheel-rail speed record. However, the operational and performance differences between these two very different technologies ...
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 ...
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.

With its vibrant orange and black theme, this spooky set from 1960 includes a 4-4-0 locomotive, haunted gondola complete with livestock, and pumpkin-themed accessories.
