A conventional train on a track moves forward by means of friction. If the maglev train reduces the friction between the train and the track, what accelerates the train forward?

Electromagnetic field. Think of an electric motor that is 'unrolled'.... that's what it is

Magnetic repulsion propels the maglev forward in addition to keeping it levitated.
