Okay, so one of my interests is transportation. Cars, trains, planes, oh my. Here are some really cool videos of really fast trains (TGV, Maglev/Shinkansen): TGV World Record 574.8 km/h: [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8skXT5NQzCg&feature=related[/YOUTUBE] Japanese Tokyo-Osaka Maglev Prototype 581 km/h: [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VuSrLvCVoVk[/YOUTUBE] Shanghai Airport-Pudong Maglev: [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-54gBLwK3s[/YOUTUBE] I can't wait until I can ride those trains! :icon_bigg
They got 574 km/h on plain rails and overhead conductors? Wow. Wouldn't see that around here. One of the tracks in town is in such terrible shape that freight trains can't go over 5 km/h. I also love the sound those mag-lev trains made.
