  • High speed trains have revolutionized the way we travel since the first one hit the rails on October 1st, 1964 in Japan. The Tokaido Shinkansen sped its way between Tokyo and Osaka at 130 miles per hour, and since then, high-speed trains have only become faster and more efficient. In today's video we'll be counting down the top 15 fastest trains in the world. Let's begin.

      I don’t think 2045 and they never said about release date yet. They expected to finish Nagoya to Osaka in 2037. But living in Japan, it might extend to even more since some part of Japan doesn’t want to destroy the mountains and forest.

      Japan's high-speed trains run on small islands, so there are many curves, while continental high-speed trains run almost straight. High-speed trains are extremely difficult to turn around curves, and high-speed trains can go as fast as they want if they just run straight.

    • @li6238
      @li6238 11 місяців тому +8

      There are 3 main reasons why Japan's bullet train speeds are not standarlized and not running above 320kph.
      1. The area where the bullet train runs is mountainous and many curved sections, so the speed is limited.
      2. The emergency stopping distance for the train is limited to 4km.
      3. Due to Japan's noise regulations (70dB or less in residental areas /75dB or less in commercial and industrial areas)
      When running at over 350kph, the noise level exceeds 80dB. Therefore soundproof walls will have to be installed in all sections. And then, the emergency stopping distance will be 6km.😅
      In Japan, Touhoku-Shinkansen runs 320kph because less curves. BUT Yamagata-Shinkansen and Akita-Shinkansen run 160kph because more curves.
      Actually, run at over 400kph in Japan was already successful in 1996.

    This video makes no sense at all... You can't compare trains on iron tracks and megnetic trains. It's not the same thing.
    Also, commercial speed and max speed aren't the same thing too.
    For example the Fuxing's max speed is 420km/h but the commercial speed is 400km/h. However, TGV's max speed is 578km/h but the commercial speed is 320km/h. So the TGV is still the fastest [real] train on earth today.
    Finally, the AGV is 2nd??? Wth?? It's not even the fastest train!!

Reaching high speeds like china is easily applicable in europe, except those speeds require exorbitant amounts of money, for maintenance and energy draw. In european countries, its not worth the money, while in china, they have the money to do that -- yet they still had to reduce the shanghai maglev speed too 300, probably because of operation prices. So yes, china has those speeds, but an ICE3, a ETR1000, or a TGV can easily attain those speeds too, without big train modifications.

    Three major mistakes: You ignored the fastest maglev train currently in service. It's the Shanghai maglev train that travels at top speed of 431 km/h. Also, out of all of the listed trains in your video, the Japanese maglev train is the only one that isn't ready for service until way later. It will be biased to compare a experimental train to current ones that are already in service.If to compare future trains, the Chinese vacuum tunnel maglev train is expected to travel at 1000km/h, which would came on top of the list

    When it came to the spanish raills (Talgo), you spelled it Taglo but it is spelled like it is written. (Tahlgo). And when Talking about the ICE 4, there were footages of various Siemens Velaro (ICE2/ICE3 trains). The ICE4 is currently set to max speed of 265kmph (which is about 1170mph). But otherwise it‘s an impressive video again.
    P.S.: We don‘t spell the ICE trains (Ice as in ice cream) but rather Ei Ce Eh (because ICE stands for Inter City Express). Interesting also that you already have shown concept arts of the Velaro Novo which is part of the ICE 5 generation project which will replace the ICE 3 (Velaro) by 2030s, however there‘s also competition from Alstom and Talgo so it‘s not sure if Siemens or Alstom/Talgo will take place to build the new ICE 5 generation.

      Mass transit in the US has never been a priority and rail prioritizes shipping. There would also be major issues with getting “right of way” land for new routes/tracks. Couple that with the lack of mass transit (subway/bus) in most major cities just being able to get from one major depot to another is only half the battle. European and Asian countries have been built around mass transit and understand the benefits more than the individual automobile culture in the US.

    5:17 The statement about the ICE4 (correctly pronounced I C E 4 - letter for letter and not as a word) is incorrect. The train is not "barrier-free" and has no "low-floor entrance". The train has steps, like every other ICE in Germany, and the use of the on-board lift is necessary for wheelchair boarding. This lift must be operated by train staff and unfortunately this lift is very prone to technical failures. You also have to register the trip as a wheelchair user so that the "help" can also take place. This train is therefore not a prime example of "accessibility".

    US should use maglev track rail train which, i think is much safer than running on top of rail tracks with rolling wheel which could jump off the rail when it run above 200kph/hr.. Maglev tracks put the train secured on its tracks as if it seems like it's lock on the rail of course, rail on this kind of train has good long tracks different to a regular train. 200 kph/hr running on vast land of US is still slow when the distance is 1,000 miles or more.

    China is seriously prototyping the CF600 maglev at over 600 kph with goals of 800 kph. It is wider than standard gauge passenger trains at about 4 meters. Full implementation should use double width of about 8 meters the desired ability since the start of the railroad age in 1840s Great Britain.
    The Japanese Chūö is narrower than the standard gauge Shinkansen and seems to be of a width typical for cape gauge 3-1/2 foot trains that is used through much of Japan.
    An 8 meter wide maglev loading gauge would allow the easy transport of large assemblies overland greatly changing the world. Maglev trains don't have the width load limits of the rail wheel interface. The 8 meter wide loading gauge would allow stability for three passenger levels. The first level might best be used for cargo with perpendicular simultaneous loading of automobiles and cargo containers from the sides that could take place in a one minute stop. High speed cargo might make profit. Passenger trains tend to not make profit. Levels 2 and 3 could be continues luxury passenger space with vista dome roofs allowing passengers to see forward watching the scenery.
    If a train is going to stop every 160 km or 100 miles to allow about an hour travel time to the train stations by automobile that works out to only being 10 minutes apart at 1,000 kph (621 mph). Additional time will be used up in the train slowing down and speeding up. That speed is subsonic which keeps from having sonic booms.
    Going at super sonic speeds doesn't really lower travel times that much unless skipping a lot of population areas. To keep from having sonic booms and lowering air resistance traveling in vacuum tubes is a possibility, but people like riding trains to see the scenery. Out in the open at 1,000 kph looking forward from a vista dome roof in quiet smooth comfort is an experience many people would prefer. With 100 miles between stops a 1,000 kph maglev train should be able to go about 600 miles in 90 minutes. That works for occasional distant commuting.
    Three hours would go 1200 miles which is Chicago to Denver. This would still compete on convenance and time with jet travel if between city centers with the plane taking 2 hours. It could be argued the maglev could be just as quick as the jet plane if it didn't stop, but the stops are what make the train a better choice for many people. It would come down to also making the train travel ticket price cheap and the experience very good. Eight hours might travel 3,200 miles which is a coast-to-coast distance of the continental USA. This is assuming a rule of thumb that 2/3 the top normal running speed is about the average speed when making stops giving about 400 mph average.

It's meant to replace old IC-trains (200 kph) and ICE1 and 2 (250 kph). Thus, in Germany the ICE 3 will remain the fastest train. Depending on the infastructure it runs up to 300 kph.

    08JUN2023 The Two Main and Most Important Criteria for Speed comparisons is MASS (or Weight) and DISTANCE measured over TIME. Let us make a comparison here between these high speed trains and the high speed trains run by the Indian Railways. Approx weight of each coach of an Indian Railways train is 14 to 18 Tonnes and the entire train is of 18-21 coaches long weighing approx a mammoth 250-270 Tonnes making the Indian WAP-7 Engines the most powerful in the World. In comparison, the total weight of each of these 3-9 coach high speed trains is a mere 33 to 50 Tonnes. In terms of DISTANCE, the Indian Railways covers a distance of approx. 65,000 kilometers which remains unmatched anywhere in the World. It runs 12,617 trains to carry over 23 million passengers daily - equivalent to moving the entire population of Australia - connecting more than 7,172 stations. Indian Railways runs more than 7,421 freight trains carrying 3 million tonnes (MT) of freight every day. Statistical Comparison : INDIA - Ridership 8,086 billion; Passenger Kms 1,050 trillion; Freight Tonnes 1,208 billion CHINA - Ridership 3,660 billion; Passenger Kms 1,470 billion; Freight Tonnes 4,389 billion.
