Test Runs of Taiwan High Speed Rail

[@howardm77]

I wish the US would wise up and build high speed rails. I visited Taiwan last year and rode the HSR from Taoyuang to Taichung several times and loved it.

[@Marcolepsie]

Nice video. I took this train during vacations in Taiwan, i liked it ;)

[@RealRaynedance]

@pinkenba55 "High speed train" counts as one going 90 mph+. Our Acela can go 150 in spots so we have a high speed rail. Might I ask what you meant by making you laugh or cry? lol

[@RealRaynedance]

I never said that it was put into service. But California did have a maglev.

[@tacosandtrains]

they have a special adapter for mandrin

[@TheGoldStandard2075]

@jonz718 I will be there in May 2011...can't wait!--in US now: --

[@alphahsiao]

HSR helps us more convenient~besides its really comfortable and safe~I think every one taking it instead of air plane~

[@gaz909909]

@pinkenba55 Eurostar?

[@teddybeareleventeen]

Why was this marked as spam?

[@mjkft22]

TGV? Eurostar highspeed?

[@addi138]

does taiwan need a railway? i can walk around taiwan in a days time.

[@Wackypie007]

@pinkenba55 Um Northeast corridor Acela express tyvm 150mph is good enough for us Americans

[@peace7777777]

AWSOME!

[@baileal]

The fastest train we have here is the Amtrak Acela

日本の新幹線が台湾に貢献できて、とてもうれしいです。 日本と台湾の友情の懸け橋になりますように。

[@RS42434]

Industrious people of Taiwan made this railroad successful. Congratulations, Taiwan. It is only Japan and Taiwan that can operate a bullet train safely in an Asia.

[@schmelzbrot]

@idiotman76 Yes, the fastest HSR in a country with 300 mio people ;) And it's pretty expensive compared to European and Asian trains.

[@AGviation]

Nice !

[@PIAF22]

having this in the US would be great. wouldn't have to get that sore ass feeling from sitting in a car for 6 hours. at least you'd be able to get up and do... train stuff haha. better than airplanes too

[@kdkwakira]

95→05（1995年じゃなく2005年ですね！？）

[@CHARLIETWW]

It's great!

[@EAFSQ9]

Its basically a taiwanized version of japan's 700 Series just now faster.

[@RealRaynedance]

Wrong. Fastest we have in service at the moment. I think I read that California has a maglev. Not in service, but made. That would be the fastest.

[@RealRaynedance]

Does anyone else notice that that looks like a Japanese Shinkansen?

[@ignacioshippuden4318]

aun ese tren taiwan

[@addi138]

@pinkenba55 i know buses here in india are crap.but nothing in the world can match indian railways charm.

[@frazbee1]

CTRL Phase 1 + 2

[@Sanaluvern]

@dhksrksalem Well I apologize for that comment i was just feeling angry over the 楊淑君 incidence at the time...

[@rongfeng73]

樹林鎮早就升格樹林市了

[@greenline000]

台湾の皆さんは本当に良い選択をされましたね。 日本人の自分としては、ＪＲの方々には出来るだけ早くＮ７００系を台湾に導入してあげて欲しいです。 日本は台湾の永遠の友達です！

[@gavhenrad]

jobbyness

[@MrPeaceseeker]

that was too slow, we are in the 21th century.

[@ciba12]

we can't develop high speed trains because our tracks are the oldest and subsequently most worn tracks in the world, and they wouldn't be able to take high speed trains. would cost a phenomenal amount of money to re-lay all the tracks in britain and because we only have our own taxes to pay for things now, rather than an empire to supplement it, we can't do anything.

[@Corgyw]

95年 is 中華民國95年=2006年=(1911+95)年

[@conneellyp]

That was a slow ass train comparing to other high speed trains ,and the music was horrible It hurt my ear drums to the point of bleeding !!!

[@tacosandtrains]

Wikipedia kicks ass.(Sorry I had to say it:)Good for taiwan.Another step ahead of their chinese captors.

[@garfieldandfriends1]

i hate the music -.-

[@WhiskeyFatimah]

Join the real world......US also does not have any high speed rail system which does not make you laugh or cry. Guess they like their cars too much....the Brits like their buses too much and have been well served by the bus companies until now....In Asia buses are craps and cars...they belch out too much smogs...and smokes....We are also crazy drivers too(so are the Yanks come to think of it)...
