Japan is always exceptional in terms of rigid technology, Our wimpy
171 mph trains are nothing compared to Japan's amazing maglev trains,
which just set another incredible speed record of 366 mph. Central
Japan Railway achieved that speed, but it may last only until Tuesday,
when rival JR Central will try to reach 372 mph.
In service, the trains likely will probably motor at only 313 miles
per hour. The companies are eyeing American shores as well, hoping to
run high-speed maglev trains between Washington D.C. and New York at
speeds that would make the 150 mph Acela Express blush, potentially
completing the trip in less than an hour.
