      An earlier record was set on the 28th of March 1955 at 331 kph, with SNCF 1707. Most trains back then only got to 120 as fas as I know.
      I honestly find it insane that the 1707 hit that speed, because it is litteraly a metal box on wheels, 6 axels that is. But the locomotive looks epic to my taste

    For those marvelling at the straightness of the track:
    What makes this even more mind-blowing is that this track sits on gravel ballast, and track which sits on ballast tends to be less smooth than ballastless slab track, like the sort you find in Japan or Germany. This is the real mind-fuck in my opinion.

    This is the 3rd fastest train ever and fastest ever with wheels and no maglev, made by France in 2007. The L0 Maglev Japanese train is the fastest ever and set a land speed rail record of 603 km/h / 375 mph in 2015. Being only ~17km/h slower than todays fastest maglev train using wheels and being made 15 years ago is just incredible engineering. Amazing.

    This is actually a great illustration of why you can't "silence" a gun, the firing is only 30% of the noise, the rest is the projectile moving through the air. The train itself makes very little noise in the production of locomotion, the loud sound is just compression and displacement of air. Jet engines are loud, but a huge amount of the sound you hear is actually the same thing, compression and displacement due to velocity.

      As an engineer, i don't quite appreciate why the wheels have to be machined to extreme high precision, besides obvious vibration and track derailing concerns but i would think a very good precision (not an extremely good one) should be enough. I mean some road sports cars like the bmw e92 m3 has a V8 engine that routinely can spin its cranshaft to 8,300 rpm redline for quite a long time a peak speed ! (i know, i own the car) and that is with a highly unequal explosion cycle and balancing that is not going to be perfect. Yes i know that TGV is carrying hundred tons of weight on these wheels but they're also thick enough for that, and the e92 is developping 420 horsepower at 8,300 rpm. So nah i am not surprised and i think the extreme precision is overkill.

If the vibrations are not sufficiently attenuated by the suspension for the given track characteristics and weight of the train then it can derail the train. This can be modeled and simulated nicely with simple mathematical differential equations model. The expansion of metal with temperature is an interesting factor.

      ‏ Innate Nature in man recognizes what is good and bad, what is true and false. It recognizes that the Attributes of Allah must be True, Unique, and All-Perfect. It does not feel comfortable towards any kind of degradation of His Attributes not does it qualities to the Creator. Many who became “discontent with God” did so because of the practices of the Church in medieval Europe and because of the claims of “god dwelling in a son” and the concept of the “original sin”. However, they “escaped” into worshipping a new theory called “mother nature” as well as the “material” World. With the advancement of materialistic technology others from different religions adopted the concept of “forgetting about God” and “let us live this life and enjoy it!”, not realizing that they have chosen the worship of the “original god” of Rome: Desire!.
      ‏NOW we can see that all of this materialistic and secular progress produced a spiritual vacuum that led to complex social, economical, political, and psychological problems. Many of those who “fled” their “religions” are in search again. Some try to “escape” the complexity of their daily lives via various means. Those who had the chance to examine the Qur’an and Islam, proceed with a complete way of life that relates man to establish a purpose for his presence on earth. This is well recognized in the Attributes of Allah and what does He require from man. He does not want man to be enslaved to any false deity: nature, drugs, lust, money, other man, desire, or sex. He provides man with the proofs that He is the One who can redeem so that man can free himself from the slavery to any form of creation and to turn to his Creator Alone. THIS Creator Has Perfect Attributes. He is the First, nothing is before Him, the Ever Living. To Him is the Final Return where everyone will be dealt with in the Most Perfect and Just way. He does not begot nor He is begotten. Those who attribute Divinity to Jesus forget or ignore the fact that Jesus was in a mother’s womb. He needed nutrition; he was born and grew up to be a man. He was trusted with the Gospel as a Message to the Children of Israel: “For there is One God, and one mediator (i.e. a messenger) between God and men (the
      ‏ Children of Israel), the man Christ Jesus) (I Timothy 2:5). A man-messenger calling his nation not to worship him: “But in vain they do worship me!” (Mathew 15:9). A man who needs to eat, walk, sleed, rest, etc.. cannot have Divine Attributes because he is in need and God (Allah) is Self-Sufficient.

Le seul diagnostic: élite corrompue qui travaille activement pour des puissances étrangères (bisous les US!) contre l'intérêt des Français, et cancer nommé union soviétique européenne.

      They had total confidence and this was not a daredevil stunt, they ramped up the speed gradually over many years solving all the engineering issue to perfection. So that even though 574 hm/h is extremely high, it was only an incremental improvement and they knew the train was safe to 700 km/h on paper, and to 550 km/h in previous tests, and they were monitoring every parameter real time. Just superb engineering.

      Hyperloop requires less energy during use, but problem comes with structural engineer, sustainability, etc. They work in theory but they just can't be put anywhere over their intended long distances. They probably won't even reach 467 km/h without a problem occuring. Which would danger Passengers lives massively.

    From Wikipedia... Following a series of increasingly high-speed runs, the official speed record attempt took place on 3 April 2007.[2][3] The top speed of 574.8 km/h (159.6 m/s, 357.2 mph) was reached at kilometer point 191 near the village of Le Chemin, between the Meuse and Champagne-Ardenne TGV stations, where the most favorable profile exists. It reached top speed 12 minutes 40 seconds and 73 km after leaving Prény from a standstill.[4]

    They have removed all but 1 pantograph. And it was arcing a lot due to huge current (over 700A at 30kV). If they put second one close to it (at location of DC pantograph on same car), it would arc a lot less.
    They also told the driver not to push over 575, which he did (574.8).
    I believe, if they modified contact line by connecting top wire of each track at every section, it would reduce voltage drop even more, and train could go even more.
    Undertaking for this run was already huge:
    They had regular TGV go up and down this line before record run, and they also raised voltage in power line from regular 25kV to 30kV, which was the maximum insulators and train electronics could take.
    Also, having a train with lower frontal area might help, as this one was double decker.
