A new technology for high-speed magnetically levitated train (MAGLEV) transportation is being developed. The technology is based on self-shielded superferric magnets which provide guidance and levitation at above 50 mph'. A linear motor is used for propulsion. The levitation and guidance superconducting magnets are distributed along the entire length of the cars. The superferric magnet shields the fringe field within the car to less than 5 G. Magnetic details and initial calculations of dynamics are presented
