China’s railway researchers claim to have slashed the low-frequency shock waves that erupt when a about 370 mph (600 km/h) magnetic-levitation train bursts out of a tunnel. The breakthrough centers on ...

Although railway construction issues have pushed back the scheduled start of the Linear Chuo Shinkansen Line, improvements on ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

I disagree with the recent commentary by Angelette C. Aviles opposing the proposed Northeast Maglev high-speed train (“Why Maryland’s maglev dream doesn’t track,” April 21). I respect her perspective, ...

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 ...

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 ...

Researchers in China have researched a solution to one of the largest issues facing magnetic levitation (maglev) trains. Chinese engineers have developed porous buffers that fit into tunnel mouths to ...
