Elon Musk's version of the concept, first publicly mentioned in 2012, incorporates reduced-pressure tubes in which pressurized capsules ride on air bearings driven by linear induction motors and [...]an electrically driven inlet fan and axial compressor would be placed at the nose of the capsule to "actively transfer high-pressure air from the front to the rear of the vessel"

Meanwhile in the far east, next generation maglevs are aiming for 600 km/h:https://edition.cnn.com/travel/article/china-highspeed-maglev-prototype/index.html
I read somewhere that they built 200 mphs? trains and tracks since the 1980's.
Spain and France are full of high speed trains.
