For your idea to work, the rails would have to be very good conductors. "Steel is not a good conductor". Also it would be mighty expensive, much more expensive than Lims, with all that electricity constantly running but it could work.

You could have coils coming out of the running Rails that slightly touch againt the wheels, which could have a some kinda conductor on them. Would that work ?

Ummm, there is no such thing as "positive electricity" or "negative electricity" and even if there were (i assume you mean like there are north and south poles on a magnet) that would cause the train to be attracted to the track, not to move. Unless you meant like a railgun. Railgun tech would work, but would require INCREDIBLE amounts of juice to do (orders of magnitude more than a lim launch) for no benefit unless you need to be moving at thousands of meters per second. Sorry. Now, the "Giant Rubber Band launch"...
Railgun tech=S:TE :)
