===Magnetic levitation=== [[File:Transrapid 08.jpg|thumb|[[Transrapid]] maglev on monorail track]] [[Maglev train|Magnetic levitation train]] (maglev) systems such as the German [[Transrapid]] were built as straddle-type monorails. The [[Shanghai Maglev Train]] runs in commercial operation at {{convert|430|km/h|mph|abbr=on}}, and there are also slower maglev monorails intended for urban transport in Japan ([[Linimo]]), Korea ([[Incheon Airport Maglev]]) and China ([[Line S1 (Beijing Subway)|Beijing Subway Line S1]] and the [[Changsha Maglev Express]]). However, it is argued that the larger width of the [[guideway]] for the maglevs makes it not legitimate to be called monorails.<ref>{{cite web|last=Svensson|first=Einar|title=Definition and Description of Monorail|url=http://www.urbanaut.com/Definition%2520and%2520Description%2520of%2520Monorail.pdf|access-date=16 August 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=definition of monorail|url=http://www.monorails.org/tmspages/WhatIs.html|publisher=monorail society|access-date=16 August 2012}}</ref>
