The World's Fastest Train - Read Text Before Watching....

Here's the deal: You have to appreciate the speed from the shot taken from the bridge.
You thought the train from Paris to Avion was fast at 300 km/h, but this is something else.
I wonder how far back it has to begin slowing down for the station.
Imagine going through a station at full speed!
This is a high speed train built by the Alstom rail group in Belfort, France . They share manufacturing facilities with the GE Energy Products Europe (EPE) Gas Turbine group. The video was provided by the GE EPE Chief Engineer in Belfort .

The train hit 574.8 Km/h which works out to 357.2 MPH or Mach 0.482 - wow! In particular, watch the train going under a bridge with people watching. This is FAST!!

And it is powered by electricity, and controlled with Apple iMacs.
Now, watch the attachment.
