Summary from the TLDR newsletter

The China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation (CASIC) has successfully tested its ultra-high-speed maglev train under low vacuum conditions. The test showed that all systems were nominal. CASIC plans to run the train at its full 621 mph speed in the second phase of testing, which will require an extended track. There may also be phase 3 tests targeting 2,485 mph.
