Japan’s cutting-edge Maglev train is set to redefine high-speed rail, reaching speeds of 500 km/h by using superconducting magnetic levitation. This video explores the advanced technology behind the ...

The Shinkansen — Japanese for “new line” — made its impressive debut in October 1964, a few days before the Tokyo Olympics.

Implementing high-speed rail nationwide would be detrimental to these towns, in turn undermining key parts of the overall ...

If you want to maximize the number of trains that can operate along one rail line simultaneously, it's crucial that you know the exact location of each train at all times. A new system is designed ...

Proposals have come and gone, and projects have stalled for decades. The ambitions have ranged from traditional high-speed systems connecting mega-regions to a magnetic-levitation train to a ...

The 2,600-foot-long experimental rail is located in Southern China. A typical maglev train glides above its track, supported by magnetic repulsion and propelled by a linear motor.

The train is based on Chongqing's next-generation monorail technology platform, as the city advances the system which enjoys ...

A maglev demo in Europe has showcased how easy it would be to use newer, levitating trains on the already expansive European rail system.

Superconducting magnetic levitation technology provides the train with less resistance and greater stability than older electromagnetic suspension systems. It is expected to enter service in 2027.

Magnetic to acquire Aurizon’s East Coast Rail unit for $287m The deal also includes the assumption of ECR’s existing debt facilities, which originally amounted to $338m (A$500m).

A viewing and test ride on the Central Japanese Railway’s magnetic levitation train was the first stop on Moore’s weeklong “trade mission” to Japan and South Korea this week.
