Maglev trains pass at record velocity of 1,003 kph

KOFU, Japan - Two magnetically levitated trains pass each other at a relative velocity of 1,003 kilometers per hour in a test run in Yamanashi Prefecture on Nov. 16, beating the previous record of 966 kph recorded last December. Officials of Central Japan Railway Co. said the test run paves the way for the introduction of a superconducting magnetically levitated train in the future. Relative velocity is the speed at which one object sees the other object as they pass.
