Top 5 FAST Train Passbys - 600kph!

In North America we don't seem to have that many high speed trains. In other countries that's a whole different story! I hope you all enjoy today's upload on the top five fast train passbys.

It was a humbling experience to stand on the platform in Nagoya during heavy rainfall and see the Shinkansen trains blast past. The world reverberates around these marvels of engineering.

Congratulations you made it to 10 minutes

When I travelled on the TGV in France the best experience was watching how fast we were passing the cars on the motorways

Want to see the trains of the future?

Set speed to 2x

The comment section is the best I’ve seen in a long time,
No scams
Everyone is stating there opinions and having small debates on the topic of the video
And some people keeping the fun in the comments going, splish splash your opinion is trash
Good job everyone

That amtrak in the snow was so beautiful

You forgot the TGV, 574, 8 km/h. The fastest train using nonmagnetic engine.

USA Train: I'm going 241 kmph

Japanese Train: hold my beer

3:11 This train either has a cartoonish smiling face or an upset one, funny design.

Really good research there bud... mentions a train in India but not the TGV in France 😂

[santopino]

The Italian Frecciarossa can hit 400 km/h, it is authorized for a maximum of 300 km/h but it cannot maintain this speed due to track conditions, so the trip of 600 km from Milan to Rome with 3 quick intermediate stops is done on an average of 165 km/h.

Apparently this guy has not been to France and Germany.

I like the way you say "just 40% faster" as if an extra 150mph is nothing! 😆

[macthewind]

Would have been nice to hear the natural sounds instead of the music...

when it comes to the High Speed Trains you are showing of in your video, you are talking about the desinged Top Speed of the Train and NOT the actual Top Speed (VMax) of the High Speed Line where they drive on.

Top 3 fastest operating Trains are:
1) 431KPH: Shanghain Maglev
2) 350KPH: Fuxing (Shanghai to Bejing)
3) 320KPH: TGV (France), Shinkansen (Japan)

When it comes to World Records (only listing a few)
1) JR-Maglev (Japan) reached 603KPH (MAGLEV)
2) TGV-POS (France) reached 574.8KPH
3) TGV-Atlantique (France) reached 515KPH in 1989
3) CRH380BL (China) reached 487.3KPH
4) ICE (Germany) reached 406.9KPH in 1988
5) Frecciarossa (Italy) reached 393.8KPH

This is in my top 5 coolest videos I have ever seen! But I think back to when I started to drive in the early '70s and I was coming out of Spokane WA. headed east pacing a BN freight waving at the engineer giving him the "race" sign. He laughed because he knew what was about to happen. I was about 1/2 mile ahead when I look in my mirror and saw black smoke pouring out of all 5 engines. They came to a straight stretch to Post Falls ID. and within a minute he was passing me like I was going backwards! I paced him then at 90. I can't imagine seeing these Asian trains at over 300! But then they aren't pulling a 100+ cars of stuff either. KL

I've been on the 3rd train at least 6 times, the last time was Brescia to Venice, it didn't get to its top speed but it did manage 200kph, it was very comfortable in business and also in coach, it's a nice train.

[AscanioVitale]

Man, cool video but I think you forgot about the French TGV and the German ICE?

[SoumalyaGhoshAVM]

Frecciarossa & Italo are lovely trains. Italy sure has some of the fastest (and most beautiful) trains in Europe. Loved taking them on our trips all over the Italian major cities. Napoli to Milano was when we experienced them at their best (fastest).

These fast trains haul 9-12 coaches with engines on either end. The Indian Shatabdi (1st clip) is an 18 coach (44 ton per coach) train hauled by a single 6350hp engine. I find that cooler.
