Coming soon to the Lake Street El... NOT!

Check out this video of a Japanese test maglev as it whizzes down the track at 501 km/h. It's pretty boring until about 3:45, where it switches to an outside view.

A better video can be found on my blog under Shangai Maglev. 431 km/hr, in commercial operation!

Almost makes you want to live under a communist dictatorship.
