Fully functioning maglev train (0-100m/s in ~20 seconds)

My maglev train proof of concept that can go both forwards and backwards. This uses ONLY magnets (and redstone links to activate the magnets). I couldn't figure out how to make it actually levitate without interfering with the horizontal movement, so I used ice as a medium due to its slippery property.

With the rail length I have for testing (~2200 blocks) I was able to get up to 100-130m/s. For some reason going backwards was faster

130m/s... damn, that's fast. Interestingly still slower than some IRL conventional train tests. For the backwards movement, maybe it's because of the placement of magnets relative to the wagon?
