## About This Content
One of the most unique, and uniquely fastest, trains comes to Train Simulator,
courtesy of Union Workshop – the Shanghai Maglev.

The Shanghai Maglev Train, also known as the Transrapid, uses magnetic
levitation to move without the need to touch the ground or use wheels on
rails, giving it a much smoother and quieter ride than wheeled mass transit
systems. The Transrapid is also the fastest commercial train currently in
operation, with a top operating speed of 430 km/h (270mph), although the train
recorded 501 km/h (311mph) during testing.

Unhampered by intermediate station stops or any other kind of traffic on the
line, Maglevs operate a regular service at 15 minute intervals from morning to
night, with a capacity for 574 passengers in each consist. The built-in ATO
system, which allows the driver to hand complete control over to the Maglev’s
electronic control systems, allows the service to operate automatically over
the entire journey, including switching lines at the end and returning on the
opposite track. This all means that the Transrapid can manage without certain
commonplace railway items such as colour light signals, a horn or even
windscreen wipers.

Despite years of development and many failed Maglev projects, only three
commercial systems operate today. Shanghai’s Transrapid began operations in
April 2004, with Japan’s introduction of a low-speed line coming less than a
year later; most recently, in February 2016, South Korea introduced the
Incheon Airport Maglev.

The Shanghai Maglev for Train Simulator, developed by Union Workshop,
recreates the 30km (19 mile) route from Pudong International Airport to
Longyang Road station, Pudong, complete with realistically recreated switching
junctions. The train itself features a detailed cab and passenger view, and a
simulation of the ATO system allowing automatic train control if required.
