I think you’re referring to SUPERCONDUCTOR ELECTROMAGNETISM, and the answer is still no.

What if you use MAGNETS which are miraculous and make everything magically faster?

I suggest we dig really long tunnels between places and then suck all the air out to create a vacuum. That way we can get really fast trains. Right?
