Kinda nifty. Watch the video @ 1:25 in. That gives you an idea of how fast this actually is for a train. 574 km/hour = roughly 356 miles per hour. EDIT: Japans MAGLEV is slightly faster at 581 km/hr. ---

I rode the TGV in France. It wasn’t as fast as this one. It went 180 MPH. Smooth as could be, the tracks are awesome over there. We were is the train station at deGaulle airport in Paris and one came blasting through not 50 ft. away. Was awesome!
