What is the fastest train?
|
|
The world's fastest train in service today is the French TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) Atlantique. The first of these high-speed electric trains was introduced in 1981. On May 18, 1990, a TGV Atlantique train reached the record-breaking speed of 515 kph between Courtalain and Tours. In everyday passenger service, TGV Atlantiques normally travel at up to 300 kph.
