Construction of the first high-speed rail in Germany began shortly after that of the French LGVs (lignes à grande vitesse, high-speed lines). However, legal battles caused significant delays, so that the German Intercity-Express (ICE) trains were deployed ten years after the TGV network was established.
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 ...
Originally proposed to run on a 4,000 mm (13 ft 1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) track, the Breitspurbahn was ultimately developed with a track gauge of 3,000 mm (9 ft 10 + 1 ⁄ 8 in), more than double the width of the common standard gauge track, and three times the width of the common semi-narrow metre gauge track.
A fourth high-speed rail project proposed by the Karnataka government would run 485 kilometres (301 mi) from Mysuru (Mysore) through Bengaluru (Bangalore) to Chennai, cutting the current nine-hour travel time to three hours (45 minutes between Mysuru and Bengaluru) at a cost of ₹ 1.15 trillion (equivalent to ₹ 1.2 trillion or US$14 billion ...
Planned Berlin–Palermo high-speed rail corridor. The Berlin–Palermo railway axis (German: Eisenbahnachse Berlin–Palermo, Italian: Asse ferroviario Berlino-Palermo) is project No. 1 of the Trans-European high-speed rail network (TEN-R), which involves the creation of a 2,200-kilometre-long (1,400 mi) high-speed rail line between Berlin and Palermo.

Section 8.0: Herbolzheim–Riegel (km 178.00–184.50): parallel routing of the high-speed tracks and the freight tracks in the north, in the south (km 182) a grade separated junction designed for rail freight operating at 160 km/h (route 4280) from the Rhine Valley railway to the bypass of the Freiburger Bucht (“Freiburg Bay”), which will ...
The Frankfurt–Mannheim high-speed railway (Neubaustrecke Rhein/Main–Rhein/Neckar) is a planned German high-speed railway between Frankfurt am Main and Mannheim.. The approximately 95 kilometre-long line with a top speed of up to 300 km/h (186 mph), [4] [5] would connect the existing Cologne–Frankfurt and Mannheim–Stuttgart high-speed lines, carrying long-distance passenger traffic and ...
