The Maglev Train

April 25, 2012

In the morning we were going to the airport on the Maglev Train.  It is a magnetic train that is the fastest train on earth. 

I was really excited to be able to ride this fast train! 

The magnetic train goes 14 kilometers in 7 minutes.  That is flying at 279 mph or 431 km/h.

Pop Pop and I thought it was fun.  

 

We were at the Shanghai airport in a flash-just about 7 minutes.  Another train went by so fast you couldn’t even see it! It was just a quick blip.

The roof of the Shanghai airport is held up by long cables running through big white posts—like giant needles with thread going through them.  It was interesting.

 

  Now we were on our way home.  It has been a very exciting trip!
