(English video version) French TGV world speed record of 3rd April 2007 (574.8 kilometres per hour / 357 miles per hour). (Previous official speed record for a train running on rails was 515.3 kmph, set in France in 1990; other unofficial records & maglev world record at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L... ) The special train, called V150 (velocity 150 meters/second), is an enhanced version of trains that will run on the Paris-Strasbourg line from June 2007. The V150 was made up of two normal cars that will run on the eastern TGV track and three double-decker carriages and can develop over 25,000 horsepower, twice that of a conventional TGV. Record was set between Preny, near Metz in the east of France, and Bezannes near Reims.

Crikey! What scares me is the possibilty of stuff on the track. Animals, logs thrown by nice little 9-year old boys, suicides. I assume there are no "level crossings" on these tracks. If they had these in the USA, there would be someone stalling a school bus on the line weekly.

benoit91220 (December 31, 1969 at 4:59 pm)
the same than on other tgv(made in france) just bigger size to limit the rotation of the engine..
al1500321 (December 31, 1969 at 4:59 pm)
what kind of wheels are on that train to withstand such rotating forces?

SNCF and ALSTOM are Grand Masters of high-speed rail
