The proposed Red Line, a standard-gauge, electrified light rail system, is both irrational and impractical. Dream on, ...

A superconducting magnetic levitation train, also known as SCMaglev or Maglev for short, can travel at speeds up to 300 mph or faster. Project developers for a proposed Maglev train in the ...

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

A cup filled with water demonstrated the extent of shaking when the maglev train was running at very high speed. Before magnetic levitation occurs, the train runs on wheels, giving off a unique sound.

Moore rode the Maglev, a high-speed train that highlights ... Without the friction caused when train wheels touch their tracks, the train can essentially levitate, creating a smoother, faster ...

Safe, reliable, fast and cost-effective, high-speed magnetic levitation train would be a boon to Northeast including Maryland’s largest city.

But the trade-offs are steep: tunneling costs, magnetic shielding, and power demands make maglev far more expensive than traditional high-speed trains. It’s a bold bet on speed—but will the ...

It’s not clear whether the technology will be used to power actual trains in the future – the fastest MagLev train travels at 366mph – but this is an amazing accomplishment. Check out the ...

Japan's maglev train just set a world record speed of 375 mph (over 600 kph) during a manned test run on April 21. Central Japan Railway plans to launch the service of the magnetically levitated ...

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.
