Segregated cycleway crossing the Transrapid maglev test track in the Emsland, here the northern loop at Dörpen.
This publicly funded development started in the 1980s, but was a commercial failure. Siemens has built only one 30.5 km (18.95 mi) real world track to Shanghai Pudong Airport - too short for train going travelling at 420 km/h.
