5 world's fastest train

1. Shinkansen - Japan.
300 km/jam (186 mph), top speed 581 km/jam (361 mph)

Japan with its technology has been able to realize the gifts of high-speed railway system that covers the entire country. Shinkansen, also known as bullet train, the train is one super fast, super safe (because, 40 years of operation without an accident that means) and super comfortable. In 2003, three JR-Maglev train carriages have been able to achieve speeds of 581 km / h (361 mph) on a magnetic track-tech Magnetic Levitation.

2.TGV. France.
320 km/jam (199 mph) top speed 574.8 km/jam (357.2 mph).

TGV is the best selling products from France, almost the same as the Eiffel tower and Baguettes icon. This speeds the train service was originally developed in the 1970s and opened to the public in 1981. At this time reaching 150 cities and towns in France and several foreign cities located in Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg, Italy and Switzerland.

Among the kinds and types of TGV, which is the most high-speed TGV Réseau Duplex and TGV, which is speed around 320 km / h (199 mph). In 2007, which is the operator SNCF and Alstom TGV TGV which is the Builder, has conducted a series of experiments. Official speed record held on April 3, 2007, when it reaches top speed TGV 574.8 km / h (159.6 m / s, 357.2 mph). This is the fastest conventional trains that use metal wheels on metal rails.


3. Shanghai Maglev Train. china
250 km/hours (160 mph), top speed 431 km/hours (268 mph)

("Shanghai Magnetic Levitation Demonstration Operation Line") is a magnetic levitation train (maglev) line near Shanghai, China. It is notable for being the first commercial high-speed maglev line in the world—during a test run on November 12, 2003, a Maglev vehicle achieved a Chinese record speed of 501 km/h (311 mph). The journey was designed to connect Shanghai Pudong International Airport quickly to the outskirts of central Shanghai where passengers could interchange for their final destinations in the city centre. Construction of the line began in March 2001 and public service commenced on January 1, 2004.
4. CRH. China.
350 km/jam (217 mph), top speed 394.3 km/jam (245 mph)
China Railway High-Speed, is the designation for high-speed trains running on this rail system. At the beginning of the run, all trains were marked "CRH" on the central of the head vehicle and the side of the walls of each vehicle. Soon however, it was changed to the Chinese characters on all of the train. CRH1/2/5 are expected to have a maximum speed over 200 km/h.[citation needed] CRH3 has a normal operating speed of 350 kilometres per hour (220 mph).[1] and the next generation of CRH2 is in development. CRH was a major part of the sixth national railway speedup which was implemented on April 18, 2007. However, not all high-speed trains in China are named CRH. Each train is formed of eight coaches with a capacity of between 588 to 668 people, depending on the formation of the train. CRH1 are built by a joint venture, Bombardier Sifang Power Transportation in Qingdao, Shandong Province. China Northern Locomotive and Rolling Stock Industry (CNR), China, is supplying 60 CRH5 200 km/h eight-car trains based on Alstom technology. These trains are designed to meet UIC and EN international standards and each vehicle utilises a high-strength aluminium alloy bodyshell weighing just 8.5 tonnes.

5. AVE. Spain.
300 km/jam (186 mph)
AVE, yang berarti Spanish High Speed (Alta Velocidad Española),
