Provided they can produce enough additional velocity to put the train on a ballistic arc through the next ring, it wouldn’t need to go that fast. I imagine it would bounce slowly as it passed through each ring.
That is until there’s a stiff crosswind and you’re fired at hundreds of miles an hour into an powerfully electrified ring of solid steel. But that won’t be a problem for you for long.
There’s also no fail-safe condition. If there’s a power failure or control system failure, things would go horribly wrong. Having the stations be the only safe resting point is a recipe for disaster regardless of how much redundancy is built into the systems.

Yes, I was just describing one of the many myriad issues with this design. It’s clearly not done by an engineer.
It’s basically a mag-lev train with extra steps. Extra being really, really dumb and pointless.
