hsr delivers the safest transportHigh Speed Rail is the world's safest form of transportation proven by decades of operations all around the world. Japan was the first nation to build high speed rail in 1964, and has since transported 10 billion passengers without a single injury or fatality!
Most high-speed trains today get their electricity from overhead wires or catenaries using a pantograph. That's because, given current designs and technologies, batteries can't be sized to supply the necessary power and still fit on the train.
The snake here shows up several times until it does finally shoot off and bite someone, but it's mostly used for comedy and misdirection. It's not very important to the plot.
There's no rail friction to speak of, meaning these trains can hit speeds of hundreds of miles per hour. Yet high speed is just one major benefit of maglev trains. Because the trains rarely (if ever) touch the track, there's far less noise and vibration than typical, earth-shaking trains.
On the train itself are superconducting electromagnets, called bogies. When stopped, the train rests on rubber wheels. To begin motion, the train moves forward slowly on these wheels, allowing the magnets beneath the train to interact with those of the guideway.
High speed trains run on electricity instead of diesel fuel. Because much of the world's electricity is still generated at fossil fuel burning power plants, high speed trains do contribute to carbon emissions, however the climate impact of one train is significantly less than that of many personal vehicles.
High-speed trains are powered by an electric propulsion system which, when compared to the more common diesel train engines, generate significantly less noise.
