The fastest train

The fastest train in the world is the French high — speed train TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse-high-speed train). In April 2007 at the site of high-speed railway between Paris and Strasbourg was set a world speed record for rail train — 574,8 km/h. However, in recognition of the driver driving the high-speed train 574,8 km/h is not the limit, just as he was instructed, this speed threshold is not exceeded.

Of course TGV trains that run at more than 150 destinations (in France and other countries, such as Germany, Italy, Luxembourg, Belgium and Switzerland) do not exceed the speed of 320 km/h. it is believed that the maximum safe speed for passenger trains should be for two hundred kilometers lower than the current record.

The TGV Duplex and TGV Réseau are the fastest of the TGV models, the maximum speed at which they carry passengers is 320 km / h.

TGV is the fastest train among the rail trains, which moves on conventional metal rails, on conventional metal wheels. But the fastest train moving on a magnetic cushion is the Japanese JR-Maglev.

On the highway between the cities of Osaka and Tokyo in 2003 JR-Maglev modification MLX01, overclocked to 581 km/h. the Main feature of the JR-Maglev is that it uses electrodynamic suspension, superconducting magnets (EDS) that are installed both on the train and on the tracks: JR-Maglev move in the channel between the magnets. This scheme provides greater safety at high speeds and ease of use.

Despite such high speeds, these trains remain one of the safest modes of transport.
