Wes Moore's high-speed train ride has prompted renewed attention on a decade-long plan to build a similar rail system along ...

In this three week storyline unit, students investigate a maglev train and the electromagnetic forces that cause a maglev train to levitate and provide the source of propulsion for the train. The ...

When Maryland Gov. Wes Moore was in Japan expressing amazement at magnetic-levitation train technology, residents in the path of the proposed high-speed train back home were less than impressed.

The maglev interior is slightly smaller than the bullet trains now in operation. There are also only four seats to a row, compared to the five now in use in Shinkansen trains. The window size is ...

It's simple: The Shanghai Maglev is one of the fastest passenger trains in the world. Traveling at about 270 miles per hour, this train is the adult equivalent of the theme park ride, especially ...
