High-Speed Rail: what is high-speed?
Posted on June 26, 2009 by Matthieu Desiderio
Even though location might be approximate, speed is accurate (verified post trip with the driver). America needs high-speed rail to move faster forward.
The train was riding approximately at 188 mph or 300 kph. This is not top speed but… commercial speed: Marseilles to Paris in 3h08, 863 kilometers (or 537 miles)… Average speed of 171.2 mph with a stop in Avignon. What do you say?
