World's fastest train debuts in China
World's fastest train debuts in China: media

According to the CCTV, the CNN reported that a maglev bullet train that runs up to a speed of 600 kilometers per hour made its debut in China's Qingdao.


The world's fastest train appears to be "floating" thanks to an electromagnetic force that sends it gliding above the tracks, hence being named "maglev," abbreviated from "magnetic levitation."


The CCTV added that the train, developed by the state-owned China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC), emits low levels of noise pollution and requires less maintenance than other high-speed trains, according to Liang Jianying, deputy general manager and chief engineer of CRRC Sifang.
