15 High Speed Trains From Around The World

By Queuebot in Science & Tech on Sep 4, 2009 at 12:39 pm

Oobject does it again with another brilliant list comprised of 15 of the world’s most magnificent (and FAST) high speed trains and railways. Simply a must see.

In America, we’re used to driving. In fact, we thrive on it. However, in other countries, high speed rail is a key factor in getting people where they need to be. Some trains in existence can cover an entire country in a matter of hours, while the best we have is Amtrak’s Acela Express, a service that the Japanese and French laugh at for hours on end. Explore the world of high speed railways with us and be sure to vote on your favorite.

    With all the room available and all the engineering available in the US, it’s a shame such programs never took off.

    Maybe tomorrow?

    Very cool, but I really wish these list sites would provide information about the list items. Where in the world are these trains? Context, please.
