CM Yogi flying at a speed of 501 km per hour! UP Chief Minister traveled in world record train during Japan tour

Uttar Pradesh: UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath had a thrilling experience of the fastest train of the future during his visit to Japan. This SCMAGLEV train is the world’s most advanced high-speed train, which runs on magnetic technology. In this test run in Yamanashi, CM Yogi traveled at a speed of 501 km per hour and described it as very comfortable.

Amazing SCMAGLEV Train

SCMAGLEV i.e. Superconducting Magnetic Levitation train floats above the tracks due to magnetic levitation. Due to this, friction is completely eliminated and the train can run very fast. Japan’s Central Railway Company has developed it. Earlier in 2015 it had made a world record of 603 km per hour. On the test track, this train easily reaches a speed of more than 500 km per hour.

You can see that I was traveling at 501 km/h.
