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.
