unfortunetly no, maglev track consists of multiple small magnets of alternating polarity (N,S,N,S...) so the train is propelled by rapidly changing the polarity of its own magnets to cause it to be pulled forward and pushed from behind

short of chopping up the pole and magnitizing all the pieces, that wouldn't work. but that would be awesome if we could.
