China has launched the world’s first suspended maglev line built with permanent magnets that can keep a “sky train” afloat forever, even when it is not being supplied with power. The 800-metre (2,600-foot) experimental Red Rail in southern China’s Xingguo county, Jiangxi province, used powerful magnets rich in rare earth elements to produce a constantly repelling force strong enough to lift a train with 88 passengers in the air. Unlike most existing maglev lines, the suspended rail operates about 10 metres above the ground. There is no physical contact with the rail as the train moves underneath the rail at a speed of 80km/h (50mph).

Feel's like doraemon
Ooooh…now overload it.😎
They called the Blue Rail the Red Rail ???
They mean to say, Blue Rail Red Train Route.
That’s wonderful and a game changer!! 🎉
Wow! We can’t even build regular trains in our country. Go China, I guess 🤷🏼♂️
This is a South Korean tech stolen by Chinese
Living the American dream
Amazing work..china doesn't cease to surprise 🙏
Superb work by engineers
Great engineering, awful idea.
Excuse me, but the train isn't levitating, IT'S HANGING FROM RAILS ON TOP!
It's not world 1st, this train had already tested in India (Goa) in 2006.
What effect human brain to interact it's that safe to ride or?
EZ
Its that train from Cyberpunk Edgerunners and the game. We're really close to creating a cyberpunk city.
Just put it in vacuum so there will be no air friction, you can save 90%.
Wrong! Japan already had this 10 year ago! There's one in chiba district!
Half Life 1 Train is here!
Cool vehicle, but that blue rail needs a repaint.
From the movie Superman:
“You got me. Who got you?”
