This article provides a list of operational and under construction (or approved) high-speed rail networks, listed by country or region. While the International Union of Railways defines high-speed rail as public transport by rail at speeds of at least 200 km/h (124 mph) for upgraded tracks and 250 km/h (155 mph) or faster for new tracks, this article lists all the systems and lines that ...
High-speed line (25 kV 50 Hz): electric energy transmitted by 2 x 25 kV overhead lines on high-speed lines. Only line sections allowing commercial speeds greater than or equal to 250 km/h (155 mph) and equipped with a cab signalling system are shown as high-speed lines on this map; the connections and ends of new lines built for the TGV, when ...

Map of railway electrification in France as of 2020. Other versions of this map in medium and large formats. There are 15,687 km of electrified railways in France, making up approximately 55% of the network in use. [1] [2] For historical reason there are two norms of electrification that coexist in France: 1,500 V DC and 25 kV 50 Hz AC.
The International Transport Forum described the current status of the French railways in their paper "Efficiency indicators of Railways in France": [17] The success of the TGV is undeniable (Crozet 2013). Work started in September 1975 on the first high-speed rail (HSR) line, between Paris and Lyon, and it was inaugurated in September 1981.
The Paris-Sud-Est LGV has gradients of up to 3.5% (on the German NBS high-speed line between Cologne and Frankfurt they reach 4%). On a high-speed line it is possible to have greater superelevation (cant), since all trains are travelling at the same (high) speed and a train stopping on a curve is a very rare event. Curve radii in high-speed ...
