Maglev trains are high-speed trains that use principles of electromagnetism as well as electromagnetic propulsion to run. The main difference between Maglev trains and conventional trains is that rather than using an engine to propel itself along the train track, Maglev trains use a magnetic field created be electric coils within the guideway walls and track.
