Thanks TT, that was fucking sweet...8) I can't imagine how cool that would be to see in person...seeing something as big as that going as fast as that is really impressive.

The most impressive part of the vid for me is seeing the speedometer inside the cabin gaining and gaining in speed so easy. It just keeps on accelerating hard!

Very nice find, thanks TT. Maybe we can start a new section just for train videos.....

I've been on the TGV once (long time ago), but nothing fast since then as all the trains here are graffiti covered pieces of crap.

From what I've read, the only thing that limits the speed is the wind resistance. There has been talk of a transatlantic underwater version that would run in a vacuum. They are talking about Mach numbers for these things.

BTW, for the records, in the video the Maglev is doing 500 km/h, but its top speed should be 580+ km/h

(BTW, uploading to rapidshare for the ones that can't see googvids)
