Have you been to Japan? Japan has always been a leader in high-speed transport and its latest machine is no exception.
The latest prototype is a magnet-powered train designed by Central Japan Railway Co.
This magnetic, levitating train can reach speeds of 310 mph. Without actually touching any tracks, and therefore because of no friction, the train can reach much higher than standard models.
The train's cars can hold up to 24 passengers.

Currently, the fastest bullet train can make the journey between the stations in 90 minutes. The new trains could cut that time to 40 minutes. Impressive!
Central Japan Railway Co. expects to launch the new trains between Tokyo and Aichi by 2027.
hey Ajirah, great post! But I'm curious, the fastest bullet train can make the journey between how many stations within 90 minutes?
