A train that uses electromagnetic forces to levitate above the guideway, eliminating wheel-rail friction and enabling extremely high speeds. The Shanghai Transrapid reaches 431 km/h in commercial service, while Japan's SCMaglev (Chuo Shinkansen) has achieved 603 km/h in testing. Maglev systems require dedicated infrastructure incompatible with conventional rail.
