Japanese maglev train
The Chuo Shinkansen is a Japanese maglev line under construction between Tokyo and Nagoya, with plans for extension to Osaka. Its initial section is between Shinagawa Station in Tokyo and Nagoya Station in Nagoya, with stations in Sagamihara, Kōfu, Iida, and Nakatsugawa.
The line is expected to connect Tokyo and Nagoya in 40 minutes, and eventually Tokyo and Osaka in 67 minutes, running at a maximum speed of 505 km/h (314 mph)
Maglev levitation is a system of train transportation that uses two sets of magnets, one set to repel and push the train up off the track as in levitation , then another set to move the 'floating train' ahead at great speed taking advantage of almost no friction. Within certain "medium range" locations (usually between 200-400 miles) Maglev can compete favorably with high speed rail and airplanes.
The train broke its own record when it ran at 590 kilometers per hour on a test track.
