Can maglev trains go uphill?

Conventional trains are incapable of going up very steep hills because of the low friction between its wheels and the track.

So how would a maglev train with zero friction and only gravity and drag to worry about perform going up an incline? Would the linear motor be able to drive the train up a steep hill? And how steep? What's the limiting factor? Heat, power, weight, etc?

I'm excited to see what you guys have to say!

sure.  The magnets both levitate and propel the train.  It's just a matter of having enough power to overcome the incline.  In this regard the maglev train would perform better than a traditional train because a maglev train does not rely on wheels and friction.
