The Emsland Transrapid Test Facility (German: Transrapid-Versuchsanlage Emsland, TVE) is a testing site for Transrapid maglev trains in Emsland, Germany. The single track line runs between Dörpen and Lathen. Turning loops are at each end. The track is elevated for almost its entire length to allow continued farming and grazing of the land occupied.Until the 2006 Lathen maglev train accident, the trains often carried paying passengers, possibly to "show off" the maglev.
