One thing for certain none of them look like a Loaf of bread with a pantograph on top. The GG1 is still my favorite but having rode on the first Bullet in 1969 I have an admiration for the Bullet.
So interesting. I know nothing about bullet trains. Does anyone know what the fastest electric engine is, and how fast it travels
The Tokaido Shinkansen at 200 mph is the fastest of the bullet trains. If the US had a proper rail system the airlines would be in deep cowplop for anything under a 500 mile trip. The French TGV tops out at 201mph j
