He's seriously messing up train types, routes, brands and train operating companys. For example, there are different classes of ICE with different top speeds ranging from 230 to 330 kph. And please don't call a route like the haramain railway a train. 100% clickbait Oh and please don't talk about Siemens Velaros showing Alstom, Bombardier and CAF-built rolling stock. And then showing videos of the Freciarossa 500's interior while talking about the 1000... And there are waaaay more errors. If you want reliable information on high speed rail, go to wikipedia.

[@green_lettuce]

Just enjoy the video please -.-

[@TheCastleMarch]

Kinda true

[@Afgy_Arashimaru]

​@@green_lettuce Sorry, but I really can not enjoy the video, in which is so many incorrect facts and on the screen are totally different types then it should be. And the fact, that the video itself was very properly managed like cuts, commentary and background music, can not change it. For train fans it is really painful. Even when he is speeking about trains I have never seen and I don't know absolutely anything about, I can easily figure out, that on the screen are several different types, and not only the one, he is speeking about. That's like when somebody would show you black Nike shoes and tell you: "This white Adidas shoes are great". Talking about shinkansen E5 and H5 series and put on the screen E6 series, is really fail like I mentioned. Not even mentioning, that the interior, which was on the screen, is not from any type of Japanese shinkansen at all. And about incorrect facts? He told us, that E5 and H5 series were constructed in 2014 and 2015. Wrong! E5 series is in service already since 5th March 2011. On 2014 and 2015 was build only the H5 series. Want another? H5 series is not owned by JR East. Owner of H5 series is JR Hokkaido. JR East own "only" E5 series. Actually I don't know, which wiki page he read. If the one about E5 or the one about H5, because somehow he managed to mixed the facts from both of them. I guess, that this supposed to be the information video, but more than that, it is disinformation video. Thank you for understanding.

What's sad is that the US doesn't place in this list because we can't seem to be bothered to have efficient rail systems. We don't appreciate our land enough that we care to sit and regard it from the window of an observation car. We either fly far above it or stare at an unfolding road paved through crowded cities and unremarkable areas. There are trains in this video that can travel between San Francisco and Los Angeles, carrying more people than planes of any size, in the same amount of travel time, if not faster if one can take a local train to a hub to transfer to an express train. All with less emissions than planes or cars! California could well have been the first US state to have high-speed rail if it could ever agree on where to put it and how to build it. I actually do enjoy taking trains but our gov-subsidized Amtrak can't even run on time because the rails it uses are owned by freight-rail companies and passenger trains must share rails with freight trains, often having to wait on a siding to let freight trains pass. I've been lucky enough to ride the Japanese Shinkansen from Tokyo to Morioka years ago and our rail system cannot begin to compare. America really needs a massive kick in the arse to get in line with the rest of the world... in more ways than just trains.

The more important thing is the extension of the lines. 4. The german ICE had some troubles and dramatic accidents two decades ago. The spanish train also. 5. The speed record is 585 km per hour of the french TGV. 6. The speed depends very much of the line and its topographic conditions. 7. The United States and Great Britain are on the last position of the train technology course. 8. Europe and Asia in the front line.

[@erichmielke672]

The Shanghai Maglev is a german train from the late 70s early 80s. I lived in West-Berlin at the time, there was a test track for these trains, but Germany never released the concept because of the high cost and sold it to China later on. Maglev's are for rapid passenger transport only and can't transport heavy loads like ordenary trains, so its more a prestige train for rich countrys.

[@GerhardReinig]

Du, als China den Transrapid gekauft hat, dachten die auch über eine Strecke zwischen Peking und Shanghai nach. Aber dann entschied man sich, zuerst Rad-Schiene über das ganze Land auszubauen, was auch richtig war. In China fliegt man nicht mehr, man fährt mit dem Zug. Wenn meine Freundin und ich von Fushun nach Peking wollen, dann Zug. Geflogen wird nur, wenn es wirklich ganz weit in den Süden geht. Und was die Strecken angeht: China baut die komplett im Hochbau, do wie die Transrapid Strecken. Das bringt Wahnsinns-Vorteile, denn eine Strecke auf dem Boden hat immensen Platzbedarf. Eine Strecke im Hochbau hingegen nur im Bereich der Brückenpfeiler. Über Straßen, Häuser, Felderr, Naturschutzgebiete fliegen die Züge einfach drüber hinweg. Und weil das alles Standard Fertigelemente sind, ist der Bau auch noch günstig. Besonders dann, wenn der Untergrund schwierig ist, wie auf der Schwäbischen Alb und die DB deswegen mit Chinesischer Bauweise viel billiger gewesen wäre. Aber um Himmels Willen, bloß nix von China abgucken!!! Und jetzt? China hat das größte und am besten ausgebaute Streckennetz. Jetzt bauen sie ihren eigenen Transrapid und jetzt wird auch neue Transrapid Strecke von Peking nach Shanghai gebaut, damit noch weniger geflogen wird in China.

[@tz7710]

What about the L0 Series Maglev. This guy totally left out the fastest train.

[@thatunknownguy2680]

Translated comment. You, when China bought the Transrapid, they were also thinking about a route between Beijing and Shanghai. But then it was decided to first expand the wheel-rail across the country, which was also right. In China you don't fly anymore, you travel by train. If my girlfriend and I want to go from Fushun to Beijing, then train. It is only flown if it really goes very far south. And as far as the routes are concerned, China is building them entirely under construction, do like the Transrapid lines. This brings insane advantages, because a track on the ground has immense space requirements. A line in the construction sector, on the other hand, only in the area of the bridge pillars. The trains simply fly over roads, houses, fields, nature reserves. And because these are all standard finished elements, the construction is also still cheap. Especially when the ground is difficult, as on the Swabian Alb and the DB would have been much cheaper with Chinese construction. But for heaven's sake, just don't look away from China!!! And now? China has the largest and best developed network. Now they are building their own Transrapid and now new Transrapid line from Beijing to Shanghai is being built to make even less of a flight in China.

Honarable mention for the French TGV in France broke the record for a wheeled train in 2007 of 357 mph. In 2015 the fastest maglev in Japan hit 375 mph... all the more amazing with the TGV so close.. using wheels instead of magnets... to float.

[@greggross8856]

Unlike the Chinese maglev, the Japanese have been running their prototype design on a 100-plus-mie test track with actual passengers. It should be ready to go into regular service by 2027.

[@gerhardkoschany1087]

But keep in mind that the TGV was only able to achieve the 574.8kph speed record in 2007 with a modified train composition that consisted of 4 cars only, boosted acceleration units draining a whopping 19600kW and larger wheels (1092mm instead of 920mm). Additionally the current has been risen to 31kV istead of normal 25kV. This train composition was built for the sole purpose of showing what is theoretically possible yet I guess that the material is not meant for long-term usage (which is confirmed by the sparkling of the pantographs. A technician said that even with hardened materials the pantograph would only last for 3000km and also could damage the power line even earlier). But in general I totally agree with you: seeing the TGV hit the world record for the fastest track-wheel-train makes me wonder why DB has made a step back with the new ICE4 that caps at 250km/h (recently DB has done a software upgrade allowing 265km/h), while it‘s earlier ICE3 generation can operate at 300km/h (Germany) or even 330km/h (France).

@@gerhardkoschany1087 I would guess, because there are Not many tracks in Germany that suited for such speeds even the one builds are often only made for speeds up to around 250kph. The need is just Not there. Additional efficency drops fast over speeds that high. Making increasing riding costs and maintaince. Additional the ice doesnt use a diconnected tracks from all other Train line like the tgv or maglev, this means the ice wouldnt be able to sie those speeds anyway because it cant overtake due to a lack of traininfastructrue, they have to wait for because of slower regional trains and non existing additional rails.

Some of the speeds mentioned here are what the trains are technically capable of but not the actual speeds during commercial operation.

There are railroad crossings but not in the parts where they are at full speed. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5uldKCHrdKYftk same crossing, different trains: 1th: Regional train 2nd: TGV euroduplex 3rd: Freight train 4th TGV euroduplex 5th ICE

@@mariosphere but can you imagine sitting at the railroad crossing, the lights are flashing the gates are down, you look to the left you see nothing coming, you look to the right you see nothing coming. Then about a few seconds later........ZOOOOOOM.... This fast ass train just zooms by. Gone in a split second. Oh boy

[@mariosphere]

​@@chrishinnant3924 in Switzerland that's normal. Here the railroad barriers go down very early, then for a while you see and hear nothing and after one minute or sometimes even more a train appears almost from out of nowhere and disappears as quick as it appeared. As children we often made bets on which side the train would come from. That was funny.

This video is indeed a joke! The train cannot be separated from the infrastructure (the track and the signaling) and what is important is commercial speed! For example, the TGV goes at a commercial speed of 320km/h but can run at 574.8 km/h! The classification is then different: 1) CR400BF commercial speed 350 km/h - CHINA 2) Shinkansen commercial speed 320km/h - JAPAN 2) TGV commercial speed 320km/h - France 4) AVE commercial speed 310km/h - SPAIN 5) KTX commercial speed 305km/h - SOUTH KOREA 6) ICE commercial speed 300km/h - GERMANY 6) AGV 575 / ETR 1000 / ETR 500 **** commercial speed 300km/h - ITALY 6) Talgo 350 commercial speed 300km/h- SPAIN Etc ....

[@dominiquecharriere1285]

The KTX is mostly a TGV. The Eurostar although dubbed British train in the video, is another TGV modified to operate on the British railway. The Italian AGV is an evolution of the TGV by Alsthom. TGV has at least 5 spots in the video, not bad for the father of high speed trains (together with the Shinkansen). TGV still holds the top speed none operating at over 570 kmh.

[@MegaSteamfreak]

The Eurostar that is in service right now is the Siemens Velaro D model. The old Eurostar that is out of service by now was based on the TGV!

You know what’s really sad: While all these gorgeous, fast, and safe trains are available in countries throughout the world, in the United States, trains are small, slow, dirty, crowded, and not always safe and owned by one company, we don’t stand a chance of developing these types of amazing and safe trains. We promote air travel here, like it or not! I love trains and always have. For me, knowing I will never be able to travel overseas again, this really makes me sick!

[@sebidotorg]

I feel similarly as a German. Our fastest train comes in at #10, while the #1, running in Shanghai, is the German “Transrapid”. It was developed here, but only a test track was ever built. When there was a deadly accident with the test train colliding with a maintenance car on the track, they closed down even the test track. The only people who wanted to buy the technology were the Chinese, for a very short track for their airport express. Originally, that train was meant for long distance travel, connecting cities like Hamburg and Berlin, and offering a time-saving alternative to flying. Meanwhile, in the city I lived for most of my life, this cost a lot of jobs. So now I will never travel on the fastest train, although waiting for it to be finally built since I was a kid. But on the other hand, at least we have a better public transport system than the U.S., giving people freedom of movement without the need to own a car. One of the advantages of “big government”, I assume. Why will you never be able to travel overseas again?

[@NortheastCorridorFilms]

The USA trains are legit the largest trains Also they are crowded because it’s a train and it’s USA a big country

[@sebidotorg]

@@NortheastCorridorFilms Are you sure the U.S. has the largest passenger trains? commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Db-403620-00.jpg Also, Germany has six times the length of railway tracks per square kilometer (or square mile) than the U.S. has, and German passengers travel 7 3/4 times the *total* distance (79.46 billion person kilometers per year, compared to a pitiful 10.24 billion person kilometers for the U.S., although you have nearly four times the population). Sounds to me like Germany has the better network, when the average German travels nearly 31 times as far by train as the average American, although we really don’t have such large distances to go around here.
