The fastest average speed attained by a train on a scheduled service is about 320 km/h (199 mph) by high-speed trains like the Shinkansen in Japan or the TGV in France. These trains operate on dedicated high-speed rail tracks to achieve such speeds.
The fastest French train is the TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) which has held the world record for the fastest conventional wheeled train, reaching speeds of up to 357.2 mph (574.8 km/h) during tests. In regular service, TGV trains typically operate at speeds of around 186 mph (300 km/h) on dedicated high-speed rail lines.
Solar trains are not yet widespread globally, but some countries and regions have started to adopt them as a more sustainable mode of transportation. Solar-powered trains are more commonly found in places like Australia and India, where renewable energy initiatives are more prominent. However, their implementation is still limited compared to traditional diesel or electric trains.
Subway trains typically run on electricity that powers electric motors in the train cars. The electricity can come from a variety of sources, including overhead wires, third rails, or onboard batteries.
The pressure between the trains increases momentarily as they pass each other due to the changes in airflow. This can create a temporary increase in pressure on the outside of the trains.
