 Hmm, 7500 miles between Beijing and Shanghai.  11 hour trip  now comes to 681mph, no slouch that train.  And after the high speed line is completed, 5 hours or 1500mph, now that's fast.

Need to tighten up the editing guys.

Try 750 miles for the trip and you get a much more believable number.  (68mph avg velocity)  7500 is almost the diameter of the earth.
