China has developed the world’s fastest and largest high-speed rail network, covering over 19,000 miles, most of which has been built in the past decade.
Japan introduced bullet trains in the 1960s, which can reach speeds of nearly 200 miles per hour. These trains have transported over 9 billion passengers without a single casualty.
France started its high-speed TGV train service in 1981, quickly followed by other European countries.
In contrast, the U.S. lacks true high-speed trains. Amtrak’s Acela line in the Northeast Corridor can reach speeds of 150 mph, but only for 34 miles of its 457-mile route. The average speed between New York and Boston is about 65 mph.
California is working on a high-speed rail system, but its completion as originally planned is still uncertain.
