By using electricity to hover on a cushion of air, maglev trains can cut carbon emissions without sacrificing performance.<\/p>\n<p>Their journey to real railway lanes, however, has been slow. After decades of research and development, there are still only<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> six operational maglev trains today: three in China, two in South Korea, and one in Japan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Germany also briefly ran a maglev service at the end of the Cold War. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Running from 1989 to 1991, the route filled a gap in the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">public transport network caused by the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Berlin Wall. After Germany\u2019s reunification, the line was<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> rendered redundant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In the years since then, several factors have delayed the system\u2019s return to Europe. One of them is the hefty price tag on the tech. The Shanghai maglev, for instance, cost <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/maglevmn.weebly.com\/cost-of-maglev.html\">an estimated<\/a> $60mn (\u20ac55mn) per mile of track.<\/p>\n<p>Another longstanding barrier for maglev trains is the inability to run them on existing infrastructure. But IronLev may have finally found a solution to that problem.<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\/>\n                        <\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
