Title: Watch two Maglev trains passing each other at 500 mph

Don’t blink. Seriously, don’t blink—if you do, you’ll miss the fraction of a second it takes for these two Maglev trains to pass each other.

On Saturday, YouTube account TheBearPoncho posted a 31-second video of two Shanghai Maglev trains passing each other. Named after electromagnetic levitation used to frictionlessly propel the trains at high rates of speed, the Maglev train that the video recorded from was traveling at 267 mph at the time of the passing, the YouTuber wrote. That means, if the other train was going the same speed, the passengers would have witnessed the other train passing at about 534 mph, accounting for the space between the two trains.

Regardless, the second train passes by in a surprising flash, leaving passengers gasping and laughing at just how frighteningly fast the other Maglev came and went. The video also slows down and plays back the moment the train passed—not that it makes it much easier to make out the blurred train.

Watch the full video below:

I can't believe that driver walked away from that.

He should have just driven through the second gate.

I don't recall gates that blocked both sides of the road like that...
I always thought they only blocked you before you crossed the track...
On the other side of the track, drivers coming toward you are blocked, of course... but it usually doesn't block your side also to prevent this kind of accident from happening...

But maybe they came up with this to stop the idiots who kept trying to sneak around the gate... and now people are at risk of getting trapped between the gates even though they stayed on their side of the road..

Me neither.

I do not know why he stopped either. In for a penny in for pound. Just keep on keeping on!

But I do think it was funny him stepping right out on the ground. Reminds me the vette crashing into the back of semi and obliterating releasing the drive gently upon the ground!

I do. I grew up around trains. The two gates are for two way traffic. North/South, east/west, etc.
