As the United States struggles to keep its major cities connected by even the most barebones rail systems, China is screaming into the future with the development of a levitating bullet train. Called ...

While it's not yet operational, China has been testing a magnetic levitation (maglev) train, the CR450 and successfully clocked speeds exceeding 620 miles per hour. For a bit of context, your average ...

A zero to 60 mph time of just under seven seconds is decent, but not too noteworthy. A zero to 100 mph in the same time would be astounding. But zero to 404 mph? Welcome to the future of trains, as ...

Imagine gliding across long distances at nearly 400 miles per hour on a train that floats silently above its tracks. No rattling wheels, no jolts, just a smooth, whisper-quiet ride. This is the ...

Magnetic levitation, or maglev, technology has been around since the 1940s, but it's only now coming into focus as a means of high-speed transit. There are several maglev train systems spread ...

CASC designs, develops, and manufactures everything from spacecraft to missiles, but it’s currently working on a hyperloop. The company has built a section of low-vacuum tube that is roughly 1.2 miles ...

Federal officials cancelled $26 million in grants that would have funded a proposed high-speed train project between Baltimore and Washington, D.C. According to U.S. Department of Transportation ...

Gov. Wes Moore (D) watches a passing high-speed maglev train on April 12, 2025, during a trade mission to Japan. Moore supported the plan to operate a high-speed ...

Europe is very close to making a huge move for its railway industry. A test by Italian firm IronLev has provided successful examples of how a magnetic levitation train, or maglev, might work on ...

Something to look forward to: The risk of generating dangerous shockwaves when exiting tunnels has long challenged high-speed rail systems. As maglev trains reach higher speeds, the problem becomes ...

President Donald Trump's administration pulled funding this week for a proposed high-speed magnetic levitation (Maglev) rail line connecting Washington D.C. and Baltimore. Transportation Secretary ...
