Shanghai Maglev Train
 Shanghai Maglev Train ... a length of about 30 kilometers with maximum speeds of about 440 kilometers per hour. The stretch takes roughly 8 minutes from one end to the other, making it the fastest urban transit system in the world.Newest Review: ... up to 431km/h (268mph) and operates by levitating above a concrete railway using magnets allowing it to reach such incredible speeds, allowing it complete 19 miles of track in just under 7 minutes. It only operates at it's optimum speed of 431km/h for about 10-15 seconds because once it's reached 431km/h it's almost half way there and therefore needs to begin to slow down. I did this journey ... more ... at the end of August this year, and from inside the carriage you could enjoy and appreciate the high speed travel. There are 2 railways running parallel, with one going each way every 15 minutes or so. The MagLev travels so quick that you can blink and...more |

The MagLev (Magnetic Levitation) is a modern form of rail transport that links Shanghai's Pudong airport to Pudong, a few km short of the river that seperates Pu-Xi from Pudong. It's a high speed connection linking the airport to the city, taking a mere 7 minutes to complete a journey that if done by road during rush hour can take up to an hour.

What is so special about the Shanghai Maglev train? The train travels on a monorail type structure about fifty feet above the ground. Yet it is not a monorail it is a train that levitates above the central magnetic rail and is propelled at very fast speeds by magnetic force by magnets along the side of the walls. The distance from this station out to the ... Read the complete review
