The superconducting magnetic levitated train of Japanese National Railways at Miyazaki achieved its experimental target speed of 500 km/hr by reaching the world record of 517 km/hr in December 1979. The development project of high speed linear motor propulsion train levitated by superconducting magnet, Maglev, was started in 1970 by aiming at construction of a new mass-transportation system in 1980s to replace the Shin-Kansen, namely Bullet Train. After ten years of R and D, the project has completed successfully its first development phase at Miyazaki by establishing technical basis of the system and it is moving to a new phase to demonstrate commercial use of the train. The test-track in Miyazaki was constructed in 1977 with an inverted T-shape guideway of about 7 km, and test vehicle of ML-500 series were tested. Now a part of the guideway was changed to a U shape in 1980 and experiments of new vehicle of MLU-001 series by 2 or 3 car make-up with board refrigerators and capacity of carring 2 persons was started.
