Train goes VROOOOOOM!

Japan's super-fast Maglev has set a new speed record for magnetically levitated trains, reaching 560 kilometres an hour during unmanned testing.

Thats a nice quick choo-choo.

That's 347.76 MPH for us Yanks!

If gravity disruptors or anti-gravity makes it to the street, then trains will see so ancient.

Mind you I have to give the japanese a lot of credit, they have mastered the Choo Choo better than anyone.

It is a good system for them due to their small country and high population density.

I know a bit about trains because I had worked nearly 9 years in the past for one of our national railways in a technical position. It reminds me in many ways of the airline industry believe it or not. In some ways the technology is nearly as high too, I think in this case it would be.
