In one of the fastest train rides
ever, one hundred Japanese passengers have whizzed along the route in Yamanashi
Prefecture on the lightning quick floating maglev train going 500 kilometers
per hour.
The passengers of the test ride were
awe struck during the high-speed ride on the Japanese maglev train, travelling
on the route between the cities of Uenohara and Fuefuki.
“During the
ride, I remember a feeling of lightness and as if the body was floating as when
a plane takes off. Maglev train is wonderful,” a 62 year old office worker and train fan Mr. Muramasa Hiroshi told
Asahi Shimbun.
The train was able to achieve the unbelievable
speed of 500 kmh by floating over the tracks. The tracking device established
on board the train allowed passengers to monitor the speed, which at its
maximum topped 502 kmh.
