International Railroad Discussion > Trial Rides to be offered on Japan's MaglevDate: 03/23/14 21:15 Trial Rides to be offered on Japan's Maglev Author: Mgoldman Trial rides available on maglev train
"Central Japan Railway Co. (JR Tokai) will hold events in which participants can ride on a high-speed magnetic levitation bullet train on a 42.8-kilometer track in Yamanashi Prefecture." The Japan News: http://the-japan-news.com/news/article/0001140368 Sounds like FUN! Don't wanna wait till 2027? A nice way to make some additional money for further research and development, too. It'll cost ya ¥2,500 (about $25.00 dollars US). Speeds are 500 km (about 310 mph) which is 42 mph faster then the Shanghai Maglev. (That ride will cost you about $17.00). /Mitch Edited 1 time(s).
