Magnetic levitation train (maglev) systems by the German Transrapid were built as straddle-type monorails , as they are highly stable and allow rapid deceleration from great speed. At speed , maglev trains hover over the track and are not in physical contact with it. The maglev is the fastest train of any type, the experimental .
