Shanghai Maglev Train Accelerating to 300 km/h

In this video, I am on the Shanghai airport maglev train as it accelerates to 300 km/h. Maglev is short for 'magnetic levitation': the train floats above the track.
I say in the video that it is the fastest train in the world. Indeed, the Shanghai airport maglev ran at 501 km/h during testing and used to hit 431 km/h in regular service. However, it is not the fastest train service anymore, because it was derated to 300 km/h in 2021. Many parts of China's expanding network of high speed trains with wheels, including the line that runs from Shanghai to Hangzhou, can attain 350 km/h in regular service.
