    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.

      It's Freccia Rossa, Rossa means Red, Rosa means Pink.
      I've taken the FrecciaRossa 1000 quite often.
      The whole track is completely new, with new bridges and tunnels to make it as straight as possible, when on the train you often travel at 300km/h, the speed appears on the TV screen.
      Due to high maintenance costs with the increase of speed, the overall speed is tactically reduced on most sections of the track to maintain the scheduled time that gives the average today (commercial speed) of less that 200km/h.

    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

    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

      What were you driving?
      Any American built 1/2 ton truck should have smoked the smoker unless you were on a curvy road!
      Im just messing with ya i get your story and its awesome.
      Here in America, and im a guilty drag racer, we are more about acceleration and "quickness" which a train does not qualify for.
      If you are over 40 then you all heard our own dads talk about speed/velocity/top end in their various you pick it model.
      I've tested this model with dads 1968 Olds Ninety Eight convertible. Dad is gone now (id give everything i have to see him one more time) but at this particular "test" it was top down 3am on M-14 west of Detroit. I flat punched that drop top for atleast 5 miles. Nobody on the road. Speedo was Way past 120 pointing straight down. That dont mean a whole lot for accuracy...however this car was dads first new car ever and he ordered it from Olds. Its got a 2.73 posi rear axle with the big torque of the 455. I bet the car went 128 easy, if not more. I was being picked up in the seat against the seat belt. But the wind pushed the car down i bet a solid 1.5 inches..drop tops carry their weight lower anyway by design. I put it in middle of the expressway and tried to keep the nose on the center line. Steering was so light but the input was perfect for this setup. Never once at max speed did the car feel "upset".
      In 1969 dad and mom were in Laredo Texas and i was about 3 weeks old. I stayed with family in thr mountains of eastern kentucky that time. When dad called and got the news they ended their vacation and headed back driving 1200 miles from Laredo to Letcher county Ky...in 16 hours.
      12 hours would have averaged 100mph. Dad did it in 16 hours in that same convertible.
      That is Cooking! They only stopped for gas. Food was what they had onboard already. Mind you the trip back was with the top up.
      Dad loved to tell this story..he brought me home from the hospital when i was born in june of 1969. You could see our house from the hospital but nonetheless he did it. Got the poloroids to prove it. So many stories here.
      Dad insisted i take this car to my high school graduation, which i did. Then to college graduation which i did. Its still in same spot in same garage since 1973 and there are 67k miles on it. Dad towed a 24 foot Nomad travel trailer with the car. I remember going to yellowstone at about 2 and i remember the bears came up and put their paws on the door and scared mom so bad the instamatic camera got a good one of the door panel. But also before of the bears.
      Anyway all that said and so many more stories dad and me, both car guys agreed we will never sell the car. When i die i wont really care anymore but out of my 3 children looks like the oldest my daughter may get first pick. The world will see.
      By the way this car is bright red with white convertible top and pearl white interior and is all original and still ready for a parade.
      Nostalgia city because this is a train vid.
      I got on this tangent about top speed. Go back and read the beginning i guess.
      The USA will never have a 300 mph train because of the land of the free and each persons land.
      Plus i dont see the reason to spend that kind of money when people just fly.
      However with that said i LOVE these fast trains!!!

      @algrayson8965 4 года назад

      What matters is not the maximum speed of which a train is capable on virtually straight track but the average speed it will achieve day to day.
      In the corridors where congestion makes a high speed train worthwhile, not just a “Concorde” “look what we can do” sort of technical achievement, the tracks were laid out over 100 years ago so in many stretches are not straight enough for ultra high speeds. To reduce curvature land has to be acquired, buildings cleared, which increases the cost enormously.
      Ultra high speeds require greatly increased maintenance. The Japanese “Bullet” Shinkansen trains are shut down for several hours every night for track maintenance.

    The japanese maglev is not in service for the public yet. It's still experimental.
    The fastest HS train available to the public since 2004 is the chinese Maglev, connecting the international Shanghai Airport city center.
    Top speed is 430km/h. The line operates in a HUGE deficit. The great challenge for HS rail lines is the competition with cheap airlines. In most cases it's cheaper to fly, than build rail.

    • @ameykulkarni7491
      @ameykulkarni7491 2 года назад +1

      Don't count rail out of the race yet;
      1. While tracks are more expensive, the operating cost us far cheaper even for High speed rail
      2. No waiting for 2 hours or endless security check or baggage or whatnot.
      3. Airports are generally far from the city centre while rail goes through it; thus like 20-30 minutes of commute is saved.
      4. You require huge amount of land and clearance for airport. For tracks you just need a narrow strip.
      5. Many rails are funded or subsidised or directly owned by government, so less ticket price.
      It's actually seen that rail is competitive with air at the distance of around 500 KM or so. More than that air is better, less then rail.
      (I'm referring to High speed rail; bullet trains and maglevs)

    • @Cool-Cat1
      @Cool-Cat1 2 года назад

      You say it's cheaper to fly but high speed rail is mainly for domestic travel, Europe has HS rail connecting other countries but for most of the world it will be for domestic.
      So with that in mind if we are going for domestic flights then it's cheaper and faster to take HS rail as taking a train is extremely easy to get on and go where as with flying you have to commute to the airport which is most likely away from the city centre so the planes can land and not hit anything, go through security which is extremely slow, wait for your plane to be ready for you to board, wait while ATC tells your pilot that it can taxi and then procced to sit at the runway for 5 minutes waiting before you then take off and begin flying to your destination.
      Now for a train all you have to do it commute to the station which is most likely in the city and it is most likely has good connection to public transit, go through security and then get straight on the train or wait 10 minutes because you arrived early then you can sit and relax while coasting along.
      The price is also different you say it's cheaper for flying but in actuality HS rail is cheaper in the majority of cases for domestic flight along with the fact that with a plane that cheapest option is economy and if you want to travel with some comfort away from the noise so you can do some work while traveling or so you can just relax and enjoy your trip you will most likely be spending more to travel by business. Trains from what I have experience, are always quieter even with the cheapest ticket meaning that I can spend the same amount for business on a plane and get a better experience for the same with more leg room, a quieter car, constant connection to the internet, power outlets and amazing views and if I want to have a better experience I can just get a better ticket which would give me more benefits for slightly more than business on a plane.

TGV is generally much short than Chinese, Japanese ones which are powered by distributed traction system.

    As a Canadian, I’ll never understand why we don’t use high-speed rail for transportation. I don’t know about you but I absolutely hate going to the airport, especially the one here in Toronto which is insanely slow and crowded, with flights often been cancelled or delayed. Aside from the Rocky Mountains Canada has the perfect terrain for a high-speed rail train. If the government had half a brain, which they don’t of course, they could make billions in the long run by introducing high speed rail to our enormously large country. I would much rather take the train then fly any day of the week, and since these nutrients can travel just as fast as any airplane, wouldn’t it be so much nicer just to get on a train, and I have to go through all the hassle of flying? I know they were talking about a high-speed train between Toronto and Ottawa and Montreal, but that’s nothing, and only a small part of our country. We need a hi speed train To run from Halifax all the way to Vancouver, I believe that’s almost 5000 km apart, but most of Canada, especially the prairie provinces are flat as a pancake and are perfect for rain to build a high-speed rail network. Instead we’re stuck with bloody via rail, which totally sucks ass, is way overpriced and too slow, and of course run by the government. What we need or a private investor is willing to put the money upfront, because it would be an investment like no other, with a guaranteed return of hundreds of millions of dollars a year, and over time, just imagine how much fuel we could save if these trains were run by electricity instead of diesel. Every single training in Canada is diesel, with the exception of local transportation is like subways or streetcars. Imagine having renewable green energy powering the train they can get you to any Canadian destination faster than flying, but cheaper than flying? It’s a no-brainer, unfortunately, so is every politician we have. It pisses me off that we don’t take a vantage of high-speed rail, when most other countries in the world rely on it more than flying, we’re all stuck so we have to pay more money to travel, it’s time that was Put to an end, ASAP!

      High speed rail only works for "shorter" distances with high volume so say Toronto to Montreal not near coast to coast. Think LA to SF / San Diego not even SF to Chicago. Only China does it long distance and it bails out the losses

    • @kingcong1954
      @kingcong1954 6 лет назад

      The distance traveled by a modern high-speed train is not defined in terms of 30 years ago, let alone the distance between Los Angeles and San Francisco. CAAC safely transported 1.11 billion passengers (domestic routes) in 2017. China's high-speed rail saw 1.44 billion passengers safely transported in 2016. The population of Africa and South America combined. By 2017, the total mileage was 25,000 kilometers, with 7 billion person-times in 10 years. To be honest, the United States has no say in the operation and technology of modern high-speed rail. Of course, you can also explain that the American people or government have no interest in high-speed rail. But do not belittle the work and achievements of other countries in this regard in the light of ignorance. Please bear with me if your English is not fluent. Welcome to China to experience the modernization you have never seen, after all, it is the year 2018.
      Sorry. My mean my English.

    • @stephendoherty8291
      @stephendoherty8291 6 лет назад

      King: I agree that what HSR can achieve has changed but the fact still stands, you need high numbers of potential customers (NO problem in China), easy land purchase planning powers and long distance does not work for HSR (China is the exception). Nobody is going to take a train from New York to LA when a plane will be faster even with travel times to and from the airport and check in time. However there are plenty of big cities that are near each other in Canada/USA like Vancouver-Seattle-Portland or toronto-ottowa-montreal. But say Toronto to Quebec is faster by plane even if traffic is high. It helps if there are major intermediate cities along the route.

    Top Fives! You're at it again! Top 5 FAST Train Passbys" First of all, "Passby" in it self is incorrect, but let's leave that for another page.
    The 600 Kph, however deserves a comment. What is Kph??? Let's dissect this incorrect abbreviation. K = 1000, p = a lot of things, but I think the author intended it to mean "per" something. h = supposed to mean Hour. So, let's put them together.
    1000perhour! 1000 WHAT per hour??? It clearly lacks something. That would be METER!
    The correct headline should read: Top 5 Fast Train "Passbys" - 600Km/h
    This happens when people copy others without questioning what they write.
    Hope at least someone learned something new.
