In a nutshell, if you put two magnets together, they attach, but if you turn them around, they repulse each other. It's the latter configuration that they use in trains. They run a huge electric charge in a section of track, and then in another section of track, and then another .......pushing the train down the track. I learned that on television.
howstuffworks.com has an article. You may also want to check wikipedia.

fee. It costs way more advantageous to construct a music for a maglev than it does to position railroad tracks. I have a more advantageous suited theory they ought to construct a subway tunnel from Washington DC. to NYC. positioned a maglev interior that and pump out the air. The vehicle will be vacationing in a vacuum ( like Apollo on a thanks to the moon ) Their will be no aerodynamic resistance to conquer, so this element ought to commute way faster than a jet, and do it without burning fossil gas. it ought to fee more advantageous than the liberation of Iraq to construct this so it aint gonna ensue.
