This speed has set a new global record for the fastest superconducting electric maglev test speed of its kind.#ChineseModernization | CGTN Global Business | Facebook

Blink and you'll miss it. Japan’s state-of-the-art maglev train has set a world speed record in a test run near Mount Fuji, clocking more than 600km/h (373mph). The maglev, short for “magnetic levitation”, hovers 10cm (four inches) above the tracks and is propelled by electrically charged magnets. http://gu.com/p/47y3y/fb | The Guardian
