The train speed record of 603 km/h (375 mph) was set by the experimental Japanese L0 Series maglev in 2015. [5] From 2002 until 2021, the record for the highest operational speed of a passenger train of 431 kilometres per hour (268 mph) was held by the Shanghai maglev train , which uses German Transrapid technology.

For example, if a standard-gauge rail has a curve with a maximum speed of 145 km/h (90 mph), the same curve on narrow-gauge rail will have a maximum allowable speed of 130 km/h (81 mph). [14] Consequently, Japan had a greater need for new high-speed lines than countries where the existing standard gauge or broad gauge rail system had more ...

A seven-car train set a land speed record for rail vehicles of 603 km/h (375 mph) on 21 April 2015. [5] The trains run at a maximum speed of 500 km/h (311 mph), [ 6 ] offering journey times of 40 minutes between Tokyo ( Shinagawa Station ) and Nagoya , and 1 hour 7 minutes between Tokyo and Osaka .
Improved L0 Series maglev train in August 2020. On 2 December 2003, MLX01, a three-car train set a world record speed of 581 km/h (361 mph) in a manned run. On 16 November 2004, it also set a world record for two trains passing each other at a combined speed of 1,026 km/h (638 mph).
The linear motor magnetic-levitated train has a top speed of 100 kilometres per hour (62 mph), floating 8 millimetres (0.31 in) above the track when in motion, and is intended as an alternative to conventional metro systems, not high-speed operation. The line has nine stations and is 8.9 kilometres (5.5 mi) long, with a minimum operating radius ...
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 ...
A speed limit can be set at maximum 120 km/h (approximately 74.6 mph) on a divided expressway, if it has low crash rates, both the lowest adaptation speed and design speed is 120 km/h and the length is 20 km (12 miles) or more; on an undivided expressway, the speed limit can be set at maximum 70 km/h (43.5 mph).
