A magnetic levitation train run by Central Japan Railway Co. set a world speed record of 590 kph during a manned test run on an experimental track. All the world records have been achieved as the company is stepping up preparations to start its maglev train services in 2027 to connect Tokyo’s Shinagawa Station with Nagoya, which are 286 km apart, in 40 minutes. That will be less than half the time existing bullet trains take to make the trip.
