The currently fastest train in the world is the Japanese Shinkasen, which reached 603km/h using magnetic force during a test run in 2015. The fastest passenger train currently in everyday use is also a magnetic levitation train - the Maglev runs at up to 460 km/H between Shanghai Airport and the city center.
