I know hardly anything about trains.
But, years ago, I think I remember seeing something on TV about a bullet train that used magnetism for propulsion. Is that possible, and do they exist? If so, it seems to me that the train wouldnt actually be touching the track, and therefor the design wouldnt have to accomodate expansion and contraction.
If that is the case, couldnt this train be as fast as any train in the world?
