High Speed Rail At 217mph (350km/h)

Here is a little snippet of information sent in by John:

The fastest maximum operating speed (MOR) of any segment of any high speed rail line, currently is 350 km/h (217 mph), a record held by China. It is Beijing–Tianjin Intercity Rail which links Beijing to neighboring Tianjin (117 km in 30 minutes). The trains have shown an unmodified capability of running 394 km/h in tests, and thus have been set to run 350 km/h in normal operation. That rail line went into operation on August 1, 2008

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE! TAKE CARE!
