[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by zardoz</i> <br /><br />In the Trains Magazine news wire for Friday 7-31, there was an article about how a British Rail Eurostar train hit 208 mph in a test run. The article goes on to mention that the French TGV has reached 300 mph, and that Japanese Shinkansen has hit <u>345 mph</u> in speed tests! 345! <br /> <br />And here we are in the great and mighty and rich USA getting excited that we may have trains going 110 mph soon. And on our "pride & joy" northeast corridor we hit an breathtaking 150mph, when the trains are not pulling down the catenary that was installed 100 years ago!! <br /> <br />I seriously doubt that Japan, France, or England have much more cash available for such projects than the USA. They just have the determination and foresight. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />[:D] AM i the only one the finds things that are made in Japan, like most toilets, they break very often.. I used to work maintenance, Japaneese toilets were hated among us.
