M-Bahn
The M-Bahn or Magnetbahn was an experimental local transport train built in the 1980s in Berlin. Like the Transrapid and other magnetic levitation trains, it used a long stator linear motor for propulsion; however, only 85% of the vehicle's weight was supported by magnetic levitation with the balance being supported by wheels.
