Kawasemi

The track on the left is the end of the ride.  Three sets of permanent magnets positioned along the track provide braking to slow the trains.  The electrically-driven tires mounted on the track's centerline also can slow the train.  Additionally, they have the capability to propel the train forward toward the station.  The segment of transfer track on the right allows a way to take one train off of the course.  The shed provides a little shelter for one train.
