Abstract

A guideway carrier (11) and a magnetic levitation railway being produced therewith are described. The guideway carrier (11) has a gliding surface (14) for the gliding skids of the magnetic levitation railway. The gliding surface (14) is provided with a coating, which is applied by the use of a low-friction and low-wear ceramic material being adapted (matched) to the gliding skid material (FIG. 2).
