CRH380 testing train did 483kph on testing, which is just over 300mph. For safety reason it now operates at 305kph/190mph on Chinese network and only on high speed tracks. And it's the major workhorse on the mainlines.
Only the longer 16 car train reached the 486.1 km/h (302 mp) max speed, the 8 car unit reached "just" 416.6 km/h (259 mph). Since then the operation speed is again 350 km/h (217 mph) but as their name suggest, they designed to operate at 380 km/h (236 mph).
Stood once on the platform when the CRH passing by, it was like a flying sword! It did slow down to 200KM/h to pass the platform but it still feels like everything (including my luggage) was about to been sucking into the vacuum it created behind it.
I watched a documentary about fast trains, and they said it was almost pointless having a windscreen, as you're going so fast you can't react to anything you can see with your own eyes anyway, may as well just 'fly' with the instruments and pull a blind down over the glass.
@@GTiR23 hm, that's strange. Would a train up ahead show up on the instruments? If not, I think it would be visible from afar and hence the driver of the oncoming train should be able to do something.

The first time I took a high speed train from Beijing to Shandong province in 2011, the train did 350 km/h (speed is now limited to just over 300 km/h). The sound produced by the train was monstrous, and it felt like 350 km/h was just peanuts for it.
The funny thing is that the Chinese trains don't actually feel that fast, not at 300km/h at least which is as fast as I've been. It's an incredibly smooth ride and you don't get the sensation of the speed you're doing. It's kind of like doing 70mph in a 25 year old car and then doing it in a brand new tourer, without the rattles and bumpy ride it doesn't feel anywhere near as fast.
The trains I took were the CRH380A which have been speed-limited to 300 since 2011, and the Hongqiao Airport Maglev which I noticed on the display topped out at 299km/h.
No it's in Shanghai Pudong International Airport. Hongqiao is a National Airport. The Maglev is faster then you think because its highest speed is 434km/h. I took it to Pudong International Airport. In it you can see how fast it is and date or clock time.
There are 2 horns on trains: high pitch (and relatively quite) and allowed to use inside of cities, and low pitch (very very loud) and not allowed to be used nearby cities at all.

Thanks for the video! Suining is my home-town ^ ^ nowadays we could reach both Chengdu or Chongqing within 1 hour~ I also took the TGV when i was studying in france, our train is as good as TGV.
About your arguement of automation. Back in the '90s, when the Cisalpino was a revolutionary and new train design, meant to lean in turns so it could travel faster than conventional trains, also came with a lot of automation. Once we sat in Bellinzona for 45 minutes, because an automated door would not close, and had no manual override, so the train would not start. Eventually the SBB slapped together a conventional train to replace the malfunctioning Cisalpino, and take us to Zürich. I avoided Cisalpino since, also because it made me motion sick.

I rode one of these between Shanghai and Hangzhou last year. Very nice ride, and this 3d model replicates the interior nicely. The cruising speed on my trip was 300 km/h.
Greetings from your Chinese viewer. The detail is almost accurate and you will be amazed after taking the train. You will be flew-by from place to place. It is relatively to be thought as the substitute of the plane. Bty, the message in the cabin is saying that welcome on-board of CRH train unit. :D
Well I live in italy in italian railways a train called: freccia rossa and italo. It up to 300km/h when I ride a italo train florence to milan center station.
As a native Chinese, I want to tell you that all the bridge part is pre-made in factories and we composite it into bridges by huge special machine, so they can be built pretty fast.
first I am a Chinese when I take the 和谐号 which is CRH the currently speed always like 270ph and that silly horn sounds is definitely not true ,and the CRH is very quick and comfortable tho
Hi, Squirrel, nice videos in your channel. I am a railway fan from china, so let me introduce more about this train. Yes it is a CRH380A, but not a normal one, it is a CRH380AJ(formal name CIT 400, CIT for Comprehensive Inspection Train), used to inspect the track before commercial running. That is the reason it is in a yellow livery(cuz all CIT trains in china are painted in yellow), so it also called yellow doctor. It can reach a top speed of 486.1 kph. And for normal CRH380A trains, commercial speed is 350 kph maximum. Also, CRH means china railway high-speed. Hope i explained enough, have fun~
Those bridges are actually designed to minimized land acquisition cost, and to keep the track level that's why they're everywhere in china. Also they actually designed a system in which they could construct and assemble the bridge really really quickly, that's why in a matter of 10-ish years china already have more HSR length tracks than everywhere else in the world combine. It's a pretty cool story actually. The trains are obviously a combination of various foreign transfer of technology acquisition, but they really did grow into their own system, probably not as bullet proof or as reliable as Shinkansen yet, but man they are growing real fast.
The reason for the high viaducts is: The standings are preproduced in factories and are brought as a piece to their place. So it's not so difficult to built it. Just much logistics. And it's still cheaper than all the ground work they would have to do, when they would built the track flat on the earth. And even the high is reasonable: It's a bit higher than the average mountain size of this area, so they only need to built tunnels on rare occasion. In Germany when they built the HSR, they didn't built them so high... so they had to build long tunnels between the river viaducts. And tunnel building is much more expensive than a viaduct.
They cost so much because it is a rip off, not just variety. "Only buy what you need." LOL What if you "need" 10% or 1% of that? It does not matter. It is still multiple times as expensive as the base game.
The thing about the horn. If it was a deep, scary horn it could not be heard from a log distance. A high pitched horn can be heard from long distances. Also deep horns are normally freight or heavy trains. These high pitched ones are always for passenger trains
Could anybody explain why the train changes at 18:40 to the left track and couple seconds later again to the right track? Why does it just stay on the track where it was? I've seen this couple of times in train simulator, but never in reality
As an actual train driver, I can tell you this does happen occasionally in real life as well, at least it happens where I work. Some railroad switches are obviously used more often than others, so we send a train through each one of the less used switches a few times a day to make sure all the switches actually remain operable. Otherwise they may simply get stuck or they break in some manner, and you might not even know about it, until it is needed. We call it "rust driving" (loosely translated to english), because we're making sure they don't rust completely. Now I obviously don't know if that's what they're trying to simulate in the game, but it's certainly a possiblity.
Yep yep, I tell you from my personal experience that commuting on this is scaring-ly fast. In fact, maybe a little bit too fast for sightseeing - utility poles just zoom past you so fast that they blur into a continuous white mess. I used to spend 15 hrs on a trip from Beijing to Shanghai, but this monster only takes 4 at its full capacity. For reference, that's about the distance from New York to Atlanta. In 4 hrs.
+Squirrel The Birmingham Sutton Coldfield map is also another very good RHD map, it features an IRL 904 route which takes about half an hour. I highly recommend that you try that map if you have time
About the sense of speed: Even when I watch cab ride videos of trains like the TGV, I never ever get the sense that it's going that insanely fast (300 Km/h). The same thing goes for these tram-trains we've got in northern Portugal (in which I travel almost every single day), because they go up to 90/100 Km/h, and, when they do, it really doesn't feel like that. When I'm in a car, however, and it goes past 100 Km/h, then it does sort of feel that it's going relatively fast. Anybody's got an explanation for this?
Avenged Fate It must be because of the sheer size of the trains that make them look slow, even if they are rocketing away at 300+ km/h. This is just a guess, so don't depend on this answer.
This exact train set achieved 480+ km/h on Xuzhou-Lanzhou HSR. You can buy a ticket to the 350km/h version and take a ride on it. Although the publicly available version have a different look.
+Thomas Tang Chinese commercial operation CRH white blue black in one of China's trains are divided into levels, there are express trains, express and slow, you say slow is green. CRH380A video shown is measured train speed, as well as yellow stars with white paint coating, generally when there is a new high-speed line opened measured train appeared, usually yellow, which is shown in the video.
I've been on the Maglev train in Shanghai and honestly it doesn't feel fast when you are inside the thing, everything moves passed you quickly but it isn't scary at all.
For HIGH-SPEED Rails those viaducts are actually cheaper to build than building it on the ground, where you need to level the ground so perfectly for it to run at 300. I had ridden that train IRL, it runs quite well on the dedicated high speed train, but for parts of journey it only runs at 180-200km/h due to sharing track with regular trainsets. Can't say anything about the horn thought... they never used it during my 10 hour journey, not even when entering/exiting tunnels...
Nice video!! Currently, the Chinese government limits the speed of this thing to 300km/h. I once stood on a platform when my train was on the stop and the neighbouring rail(the opposite side of my train) had another train passing by and NOT STOPPING. It was passing the station with the speed of 300km/h!!! So it was in the evening. I heard the horn and saw a light approaching. When it reaches me, I felt the platform was shaking and the noise was a bit loud. But everything just happened in 2 seconds and back to normal. Oh and they build the whole system on the bridge for safety reason. If this thing is travelling at that speed on the ground, any rock, animal or someone throwing garbage could be deadly. Also to protect the soil. Even some stations in the middle are on the bridge!
"Bahbah, blahblahblah, Chinese product this, Chinese that, im so smart and decide to point out this inaccurate thing that people never did before" Well, i can tell you that the poor quality products are made for the markets that often need lower quality but affordable products. And i wonder where those markets are.... Oh... Hold on... The whole world?
I think the reason for the high horn has to do with... well not sure what its called and not sure if its 100% true but basically what I often heard is that the horn is high as it can be lounder without much effort and it can be heard from far while a low horn has needs more power to be loud and cant be heard from that far away if it isnt made incredibley loud. Atleast thats what I once heard.
imagine walking across the tracks and hearing a booming horn. and then imagine walking across with that horn. the first one will scare you into staying put but the second will can't your attention still allowing you to react.
Hi Squirrel, as you seem to like fast trains, are you aware of the L0-Series maglev they want to introduce in Japan by 2027? It will run at 505km/h in commercial service, but was tested at over 600km/h in testing last year. Can't wait to ride on that thing.
That horn is amazing. Classic TS2016 (or any other year) As an Englishman i'm sure you'll know the Train Line advert with the guy at the station doing the horn noise himself. That would be better than this trains real horn. haha

I've watched a train go 110 mph through a station. I was standing about 5 ft away, scariest train moment I ever witnessed.
when is the next "This May Contain Nuts"?
+Kaspar Jaakberg This week
ok :)
Still fun to watch in 8/2019. Gj, Squirrel!
Nice route and trains :). I hope someone will make a Japanese Shinkansen route for TS16.
19:49 "Buuuuuuuurrp" lol
About the sense of speed: Even when I watch cab ride videos of trains like the TGV, I never ever get the sense that it's going that insanely fast (300 Km/h). The same thing goes for these tram-trains we've got in northern Portugal (in which I travel almost every single day), because they go up to 90/100 Km/h, and, when they do, it really doesn't feel like that.
When I'm in a car, however, and it goes past 100 Km/h, then it does sort of feel that it's going relatively fast.
Anybody's got an explanation for this?
Avenged Fate It must be because of the sheer size of the trains that make them look slow, even if they are rocketing away at 300+ km/h. This is just a guess, so don't depend on this answer.
Quality control on rails is easier than roads. Even if the ride is smooth, the small imperfections produces a lot of vibrations to the car.
I don't know why I like watching Squirrel's videos but I sure am glad I get to! Keep it up Squirrel! Keep on truckin', figuratively and literally.
the last minute and a half, xD

Amazing!!! U should drive this train more often!👍🏽
people have to stand a few feet away from the platform behind bolted gates and metal fences so you dont get sucked into the train cuz how fast it goes
that is not true watch mythbusters they did a test of that
This exact train set achieved 480+ km/h on Xuzhou-Lanzhou HSR. You can buy a ticket to the 350km/h version and take a ride on it. Although the publicly available version have a different look.
CRH are those fast trains. Chinese normal trains are in GREEN!
Green,orange and blue.
+Thomas Tang Chinese commercial operation CRH white blue black in one of China's trains are divided into levels, there are express trains, express and slow, you say slow is green. CRH380A video shown is measured train speed, as well as yellow stars with white paint coating, generally when there is a new high-speed line opened measured train appeared, usually yellow, which is shown in the video.
This is playing really well on your PC!

The train has not gone through puberty yet
yeaaa speeeeeeed
looool
Greetings from China :) Welcome to visit and ride these :)
Jesus, beautiful train, but outright German /Japanese systems thefts. ..
9 LAZARUS It's called purchasing patents.
Bullshit! The same type of train - Siemens Velaro - is in service around the world.
Now different types of trains do all kinds of routes!
Some do Chinese routes
Made in China😂😂😂. When it will crash?😂😂😂
It will never crash.
Never.
And fuck off.
Never, you fucking idiot
Jarvis Bogarede fuck off
The reason for the high pitch horn is that high pitch sounds bears longer distances :-)
why are you talking so much?
κωνσταντινος Μακαρατζης you're nice
Makaratzis shut up yuo are so rude
I bet you were nervous when you were driving it that fast.. we can all be glad that no human jumped in front of that train
I've been on the Maglev train in Shanghai and honestly it doesn't feel fast when you are inside the thing, everything moves passed you quickly but it isn't scary at all.
superb as always, an inspiration, keep it coming! definitely yonks ahead of me with videos!
Squirrel 2016- We should have motion blur
Squirrel Current- I want to disable motion blur!
For HIGH-SPEED Rails those viaducts are actually cheaper to build than building it on the ground, where you need to level the ground so perfectly for it to run at 300.
I had ridden that train IRL, it runs quite well on the dedicated high speed train, but for parts of journey it only runs at 180-200km/h due to sharing track with regular trainsets. Can't say anything about the horn thought... they never used it during my 10 hour journey, not even when entering/exiting tunnels...
Nice video!! Currently, the Chinese government limits the speed of this thing to 300km/h. I once stood on a platform when my train was on the stop and the neighbouring rail(the opposite side of my train) had another train passing by and NOT STOPPING. It was passing the station with the speed of 300km/h!!! So it was in the evening. I heard the horn and saw a light approaching. When it reaches me, I felt the platform was shaking and the noise was a bit loud. But everything just happened in 2 seconds and back to normal. Oh and they build the whole system on the bridge for safety reason. If this thing is travelling at that speed on the ground, any rock, animal or someone throwing garbage could be deadly. Also to protect the soil. Even some stations in the middle are on the bridge!
Thats a fast train Mr Squirral.
When you talked about the horn i exepected a sound like "Muuuurp". I laugh like an idiot!
Dont forget that it is a chinese train and you know the quality of chinese things
Like, better quality than your comment?
"Bahbah, blahblahblah, Chinese product this, Chinese that, im so smart and decide to point out this inaccurate thing that people never did before"
Well, i can tell you that the poor quality products are made for the markets that often need lower quality but affordable products. And i wonder where those markets are.... Oh... Hold on... The whole world?
@@MrZane-bl8qm man chill out this is youtube if u dont get the jokes then iam sorry 4 u
TROPICAL TREV the Germans and Japanese
@@tropicaltrev1617 😂
I think the reason for the high horn has to do with... well not sure what its called and not sure if its 100% true but basically what I often heard is that the horn is high as it can be lounder without much effort and it can be heard from far while a low horn has needs more power to be loud and cant be heard from that far away if it isnt made incredibley loud. Atleast thats what I once heard.
Nice video
I dont think i would have the courage to get in one of these trains lol.
If you press "8" on the keyboard, you can move the camera where you like
Wow speed in the game Wow speed in the game
imagine walking across the tracks and hearing a booming horn. and then imagine walking across with that horn. the first one will scare you into staying put but the second will can't your attention still allowing you to react.
THE GRAPHIC IS SO REALISTIC
Hi Squirrel, as you seem to like fast trains, are you aware of the L0-Series maglev they want to introduce in Japan by 2027? It will run at 505km/h in commercial service, but was tested at over 600km/h in testing last year. Can't wait to ride on that thing.
That horn is amazing. Classic TS2016 (or any other year) As an Englishman i'm sure you'll know the Train Line advert with the guy at the station doing the horn noise himself. That would be better than this trains real horn. haha
i hope this is the train we will get in Sweden once the negotiations is done and the track is build :D
I sent immigrants to help with the building, note that they don't like pork...
7:31 thats the case with most aggresive looking and fast vehicles
mean appreance
fast top speed
horn that is basically a joke for the vehicle
Are you from St. Helens? because at 9:53 your accent sounded exactly like it
I think he is from London
+und3rcov3rspud Yes he is, to my understanding :)
He's from Chelmsford in Essex.
ok?
