Fast Chinese Train Is, Well, Really Fast

Fast Chinese Train Is, Well, Really Fast

On December 26th, while you were, perhaps, in a long line at a department store trying to return that gift you’d received, a line that moved with all of the alacrity of a tired, wounded snail, a group of folks in China were setting a land-speed record.

The Harmony Express passenger train traveled between Guangzhou to Wuhan, a distance of some 1,100 km, in less than three hours, averaging 350 km/hr. According to a story in the Financial Times, this speed is significantly faster than that of the Japanese Shinkansen or the French TGV trains, which have a maximum service speed of 300 km/hr.

And the “fast” train in the U.S., the Acela, brings to mind the aforementioned snail—comparatively speaking—as it travels the 300 km between Boston and New York in 3.5 hours, for a speed of about 86 km/hr.

In the event that you want to see a fast train—labeled the “fastest”—check out this video which, as you’ll note from the fact that the guys are speaking French, is not the Harmony Express::
