The Chinese are still discussing a possible connection of Shanghai with
Beijing, and no final decision has as yet been forthcoming. Latest news:
"China examining further routes for the Transrapid
"Following the commencement of commercial service of the Transrapid line in
Shanghai, use of the maglev system on other routes in the People's Republic
of China is now also being examined. That explained China's Ambassador to
Germany, Ma Canrong. Its success in Shanghai has confirmed the Transrapid's
future sustainability." -- From http://www.transrapid.de/en/index.html

I believe the Chinese have decided not to go ahead with the German
Transrapid. This has been an area of great optimism and little result. Be
careful.

Hi John,
a few years ago, my kids and I had the opportunity to be passengers on the
(then) experimental German Maglev train called "Transrapid". It was quite
impressive - an extremely smooth ride at about 300 mph. This German system
is the one that is now running full time in Shanghai.
The company places great importance on the fact that their system is the
only one where magnetic *attraction* is used to keep the train in a state of
"levitation", which gives much better security than the other maglev systems
which are based on magnetic repulsion. OTOH, it also makes it more
expensive.
Best regards,
Michael

Does anyone on the list know the major public company players in the
Maglev field?
Apparently China and Japan have already started using this source of
conductivity for train travel.
Any leads welcome.
Thanks,
John
