'''MagLev (Magnetically Levitated) trains''' are a form of rail transportation on [[human]] colony worlds. These [[vehicle|vehicles]] are capable of high speeds and were very common sights throughout the 26th century.

Such a system existed in [[New Mombasa]], [[Earth]], with a maglev system under the jurisdiction of the [[New Mombasa Transit Authority]] providing transportation throughout the area. This system was one of the first targets of [[Covenant]] forces when they [[Battle of Earth|attacked Earth]] in [[2552]].<ref>'''[[Halo 2]]''', multiplayer map, ''[[Terminal (Level)|Terminal]]''</ref>

Another MagLev system existed around the [[Chicago|Chicago Greater Industrial Zone]]. This system used the same elevated tracks once occupied by older, less advanced trains of Chicago's old elevated railway.<ref>'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 45''</ref>

Inner Colony world [[Tribute]] in the [[Epsilon Eridani system]] had a MagLev rail system around the entire planet and centered around main population center [[Casbah]]. This system formed a core part of the colony's transportation grid. During [[Operation: TREBUCHET]], [[UNSC Marine]]s had to place [[ARGUS]] bomb-sniffing devices around the stations around the planet to insure that [[Insurrectionist]]s did not try to sabotage the network.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 12''</ref>

Outer Colony world [[Harvest]] in the [[Epsilon Indi system]] also has a MagLev system around the entire planet, centered on its major population center of [[Utgard]]. However, unlike most other rail networks, Harvest's trains were used exclusively to transport freight, not passengers. Harvest had [[seven]] main train lines, which led to the seven [[Harvest space elevators|space elevators]] on the planet that connected to the ''[[Tiara]]''. The trains carried crops and equipment from the outlying areas to the elevators, where they could be loaded into [[DCS light freighter|freighters]] and sent to other colony worlds.<ref>'''Halo: Contact Harvest''', ''page 76''</ref>

[[The Rubble]], an [[Insurrectionist]]-controlled base composed of numerous [[asteroid]]s orbiting [[Hesiod]], used MagLev trains to transport passengers from one asteroid "habitat" to another. The tracks of these trains were built through clear tubes that were connecting each asteroid together.<ref>'''[[Halo: The Cole Protocol]]''', ''page 46''</ref>

==Trivia==

*MagLev trains in Terminal are instant death vehicles. If a player is caught on its track, regardless of shield strength, or whether you are in a vehicle, the player will die immediately, with the message "Killed by the [[Guardians]]".

*MagLev trains in [[Terminal (level)|Terminal]] are instant death vehicles. If a player is caught on its track, regardless of shield strength, or whether you are in a vehicle, the player will die immediately, with the message "Killed by the [[Guardians]]".

*A UNSC ATV, the [[Sperry FCMMagLEV]], used a MagLev locomotive as its drive train, which was vulnerable on the battlefield.<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?cid=12233 '''Bungie.net''': ''The Mongoose (1/10/2007)'']</ref>
