    Japan's Maglev Train Sets Speed Record

    http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...japan_maglev_2

    The experimental maglev set the world's top speed for a train Tuesday, clocking at 581 kph (361.03 mph)

    I can tell them that I work with the mentally retarded.

          That wouldn't accomplish much. The track has sensors that detect if anything is on the tracks.

                      These things are crazy. I remember hearing that the one in Germany (the first I believe - which has been in experimentation for 10-20 years) could reach 1000 Miles Per Hour without too much trouble. I wonder why they are still building conventional trains to travel across Europe?

                          Maglev is probably more expensive than conventional trains.

                              True, but I am pretty sure it is a lot cheaper to run.

                                  Look at the fate of Concord.
