My friends Jill and Lauren traveled down to Shanghai with me on Halloween. When we arrived my UK friend Gary guided us through the Shanghai Pudong International Airport to the Maglev. The Maglev train is a high speed magnetic levitation train like those in Japan. It travels between PIA and Longyang Road station on the line 2 subway. During peak operation hours the train runs at 431 kmh (268 mph) and takes less than 8 minutes to go 30 km (18.6 miles).
Pic 1 is a shot of the front end of the Maglev. Pic 2 is a quick shot outside when were traveling full speed. Pic 3 is a shot of the digital speedometer readout located at the head of each car.
