THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY IN TRANSPORTATION Trains of the Future This new state-of-the-art train is operated by magnetic levitation technology. The train is similar to a Disney World monorail with one big difference: it can travel at speeds approaching 300 miles per hour and makes almost no sound. Instead of traveling along rails‚ this train sits atop a magnetic field‚ thereby eliminating the effects of friction and making higher speeds possible. At these speeds‚ the magnetic levitation train will
