Modern trains work based on Maglev Technology in which trains are magnetically leviated.

Maglev can also mean general magnetic levitation. maglev, is a form of transportation that suspends, guides and propels vehicles via electromagnetic force. This method has speed and ride comfort advantages compared to wheeled mass transit systems - potentially, maglevs could reach velocities comparable to turboprop and jet aircraft (500 to 580 km/h), and the lack of track-wheel friction allows for exceptional comfort - but although the idea is decades old, scientific and economic limitations have hindered the proliferation of the technology.

So many...
Locomotives can be electrical, diesel-electrical. So you can already have all the internal combustion and electrical control technologies.
Then you can look at the suspension, especially for high speed trains: physical science for dynamics, dampening, material resistance, etc.
For very high speed train: aerodynamics to ensure efficiency and stability.
Then you have all the math and statistics required to operate a train line.
The list is very long. Modern trains are very complex

Vincent G mentions "dampening" in the context of suspension.
The word is damping.
To dampen something is to make it moist.
To damp something is to deaden it.
