High Speed Trains : Transrapid Maglev

The Transrapid is the first fundamental innovation in railroad engineering since construction of the first railroads. The superspeed maglev system has no wheels, axles, transmissions, or pantographs. It doesn't roll, it hovers. Instead of wheels and rails, the Transrapid uses non-contact electromagnetic levitation, guidance, and propulsion systems wear-free electronics instead of mechanical components.
