The Maglev—the Fastest Train in the World
The fastest train in the world,the Transrapid Maglev,runs between Shanghai's Pudong Airport and Longyang Station in downtown Shanghai.Travelling at a speed of over 400 kilometers per hour,the train can complete the 30—kilometer journey in eight minutes.Maglev means “magnetically levitated”.The Transrapid Maglev is the world's first high—speed train using magnetic levitation technology.Magnetically levitated trains travel in a vacuum between two magnets.There are no rails and no noise.They travel very fast and they use less energy.On December 31,2002,Premier Zhu Rongji and the German chancellor attended the opening ceremony of the train service.Both leaders took the train to Pudong Airport.On November 12,2003,the Maglev reached a speed of 501 kilometers per hour on the track between Longyang Station and Pudong,a new world record speed for a train.
