The 10 fastest high-speed trains

nazar.data:

The race for speed is on — and Asia is leading the tracks.

From the Shanghai Maglev hitting a record 460 km/h to Europe’s iconic TGV and Frecciarossa, the world’s fastest trains show how far high-speed rail has advanced. ⚙️

🇨🇳 China dominates the list with multiple entries — the CR Fuxing and CR Harmony both reach 350 km/h, while Japan’s Shinkansen and Korea’s KTX-Sancheon continue to set the standard in East Asia.

🇫🇷🇩🇪🇮🇹 Europe also remains strong, with France, Germany, Spain, and Italy all operating trains above 300 km/h, while Morocco’s Al Boraq proudly holds Africa’s top spot at 320 km/h.

Meanwhile, the United States lags far behind — despite its wealth and size, it still lacks a true high-speed rail network. America’s infrastructure remains deeply car-centric, prioritizing highways and air travel over trains.
