I think that's going to depend on how you look at it. There are no fossil fuels directly used by the train since it's based on electromagnetism, but there's going to be a decent amount of electricity used to keep the train moving. All depends on how the electricity is generated and what it takes to keep the magnetic fields up to propel the train. Can't seem to find any quick information on that...
Fortunately there are many more clean ways to produce electricity so I'd hope that it's a lot more energy efficient than fossil fuels.
