The New TGV World speed record !!!

[Wolf0Donnelie]

Jador le petit putain !!!

[Marsnet]

Did everyone see the guy on the back of the train?

[ermollejuo]

I had to replay many times , to get the information into my head that it was a train...amazing

[GreenMarineSVX]

OK, WHO is the idiot that clicked "Thumbs down"?!?! How can you NOT like something like this. This amazing demonstration of human technological advancement, human achievement, whatever you want to call it. It's things like this which thrust the human race FORWARD... While you do have a right to your own opinion, and the right to click "Thumbs down", you are basically saying "No" to the advancement of humanity... Might as well have shown a horse and cart, would you like that better?...

[Blupearl2003]

@GreenMarineSVX Whom ever clicked "dislike" must be one of these poeple that thinks trains are for retards.

[icerrk]

The French know how to make number 1 trains; likewise the Germans make the best cars :)

Oh yes, proud to be French and driving a German motor !

[trainagri]

genial !!!

[dashloc]

@trainagri Merci :)

[eduardourtazareyes1]

el 3 de avril del 2007 un prottipo del tren frances tgv al alcanzar la asombrosa velocidad de 574 kilometros por hora superando de esta forma el de los 515 kilometros por hora de 1990 ambos trenes fueron hechos por el mismo fabricante

[motomorfo]

Acabo de tener un orgasmo!! I just had an orgasm

[dashloc]

@motomorfo lol :D

[TheXocolida]

@dashloc Ah ah c'est toi qui dit "P....N!!!!"..

[dashloc]

@TheXocolida oui, c'est sortie tout seul ! ^^

[TheXocolida]

@dashloc

J'ai pris notre défense...va voir se que j'ai repondu à l'autre schmidt a deux balles lol

Va sur "TGV V150 574,8 Km/h prise de vue à 7 mètres"

[rolippine]

the best train technology ever!!!!!!

[rolippine]

the best train technologies ever!!!!!!

[usukker]

sounds like a jet

[kenjryker]

@usukker That was a jet flying overhead to film the aerial footage, as no helicopter could ever keep up....

[usukker]

@kenjryker aha okey. heheh thanks for the info

[smimot]

@kenjryker, yup, I noticed that too. Flying chase and got some fantastic footage.

[topjaizkibel]

Yesssss....

[emachines34]

Only dashloc would make a video like this!

[dashloc]

@emachines34 meuh !:D

[freakingbonnetli]

Holy shit !!.. the guy taking the video might have crapped !!

[dashloc]

@freakingbonnetli Almost !

[indianrailways]

The jet pilots might have freaked out - WTF is that !!! Poor jet.

[MrStubbja]

HOLY SHIT, that is absolutely amazing ever!!!!!!!!!!

[growingup15]

OMG Sounds like a freaking Jet flew by Thats a Beast train. i would love to see those here in America

[dashloc]

@growingup15 the train is racing a jet in the video, this one who is filming for the tv show, that's why ! high speed trians in USA ? i hope for you too ! :)

[strastrain]

Depuis que je connais cette vidéo j'ai toujours aime le "Putain !" à la fin =) ^^

[dashloc]

@strastrain lol c'est sortie tout seul ! :P

[nudracr]

the combined sound in the afterwash is nice though

[bioshock000]

French trains are the best and the most beautiful ones.

Riding this is something you must experience once in a lifetime.

[silviopsg839406]

La plus belle vidéo que tu as fait JF !!! 1000/20

[dashloc]

@silviopsg839406 Merci, ah le record c'était quelque chose ! :)

[andeegreen]

The TGV wasn't racing a jet plane!!! The plane was flying alongside to record the train's record attempt from the air.

[dashloc]

@andeegreen Of course, when i talk about a "race" it's a (funny) kind of view !

[MrNathari]

Some friends show me some sceptics on FOX news,"we don't need this kind of transportation, we love our cars".Damned!!TGV in France doesn't kill car.There are less cars on roads so the probalities to have a crash are less too!In France too welove our car!Say no for bullet trains is a nonsense.Marocco say yes,Russia say yes,China,South Korea,even Brits with Eurostar but some Americans said like "it's a waste of money".I...I can't believe it...Look at this vid AND WAKE UP.

[dashloc]

@MrNathari I agree with you, TGV doesn't kill cars, he just eat the airplane for trip less than 3H30 hours ! :)

[M1keyblue]

@MrNathari train cost damn much money, but its a very good start for the environment and it will be damn nice to have them in usa and canada, both big countrys, they need the trains. and its better to have trains. so you can bring stuff faster on the roads. much faster

[bigredbosshog]

I cannot imagine standing there watching something that heavy, go that fast! W O W ! !

[dashloc]

The most funny Bigredbosshog, that's i had wait hours and hours that the train passed, when it comes...take 6 seconds for passed and it's finish !

[Pahoranrojas]

impresionane!!!! pero no tanto como el shinkansen Maglev.. el mas veloz del mundo!!!!

[xenotypos]

@Pahoranrojas ->

I don't understand Spanish very well but Maglev and Shinkansen aren't the same things :].

Shinkansen= bullet train in Japan, on rail.

Maglev= "train" with Magnetic Levitation with just one commercial way (city-airport) in Shangai (but it's a japanese system). The profitability or the feasibility in long distance isn't very known for the futur but yeah it have the record of 581km/h.

[tuintu]

a race machine ! :P

[calibra2340]

Great Vid :D

TGV = The best Train in the World

[dashloc]

Thanks Calibra2340 :)

[AKAIGXF71]

TGV rullz 4 ever!!!

[paescu21]

haha pu-taaiiiiin

[dashloc]

lol :P

[v8dhyucc]

Why does not this train run the second examination?

[dashloc]

Second examination? what do you ask about ?

[maji1201]

日本も負けないぞ！お互い頑張ろうぜ

I'll never find in Japan! Let each other harambee

Je ne trouverai jamais au Japon! Let Harambee uns des autres

[dashloc]

Hmmm ... Harambee what this ?

[olmakey]

J'ai aimé le Pu-tain qui résume bien la situation...

[dashloc]

Tout a fait lol !

[kokodokodesyouka]

No sure that makes sense, but I heard that the Japanese Shinkansen can have most of its tracks above the ground because all cars are motorized, splitting the weight all over the cars, and therefore avoiding the need of a very heavy tractor that would put too much stress on elevated tracks...

[dashloc]

Lol your a funny guy ! just remember me what's happens recently in Japan..habove the mm...earthquake ?!

Hmmm maybe the track above the ground are due to the many earthquake that's the country count ? :P

[dreambuilders48808]

Sweet. I wish USA had such good rail service. I took Eurostar

from London to Paris. What a Great Trip!

[dashloc]

yup ! i hopes too :)

[peppeddu]

Very dangerous, I am surprised there haven't been any accident yet.

In Japan the Shinkansen (the high speed train) is running 60 feet above the ground inside inaccessible tracks.

Here an animal (or even a human) can cross path and cause a real mess.

[dashloc]

Normal, In Japan a lot of track are built whit anti seismic construction.

Yes, unfortunely whit got the same problems whit animals and sometimes humans, a boar hitting at high speed make a lot of damages on the TGV !

[peppeddu]

It costs a lot of money to build a train track above the ground but the benefit is that there is no need for railroad crossings, you don't have to take the land away from the farmers, and it's soundproof.

In the city, under the train tracks, they build restaurants and stores.

It's kinda cool to have dinner and and to feel a small earthquake every 1/2 hour (the train passing at high speed above)

[kenjryker]

peppeddu, Don't be surprised, just check basic facts. If you look closer, you'll see the 4metre high fence 10metres back from the track; you would also discover there are no level crossing at all on high speed lines in the TGV network.

[shamandgg]

Now, they can't. Tracks are protected, and under surveillance along the way.

[38Squid]

Crap, sounds like a jet!

[dashloc]

Normal, there a jet flying in at the side of the train, lol !

[kjr63]

Wow! Isn't there a problem with aerodynamics with that speed? You would think such speed demands some downforce to stay on track?

[Ferrorschini]

I think it doesnt need downforce cause the train is over 200 tons.

[dashloc]

No, but the pressure on the pantograph is a true problems at very high speed !

[Ferrorschini]

Thats really "putan". Jesus, what a speed and sound. Amazing.

[dashloc]

Yup for sure ! :)

[jonzofon]

HeHe! tu dire "Putain" a 0:17? :P c'est une gros mot :D

[dashloc]

Lol that was escape from my mouth by accident !

[rattengesicht22]

Quite impressive. But for commercial purposes useless. If trains are going faster than 300 km/h they just need too much energy, so it gets too expensive. Only the German Transrapid or the Japanese Maglev, which uses a magnetic levitation system, could go something like 500 km/h and be still energy-efficient.

The French just did break the record for marketing purposes...

[593OLYMPUS]

For commercial purposes speed is anything but useless. People pay for speed -simple. Not just an extra 50mph over the standard train on that route either - a serious speed jump on regular services such as the TGV pays dividens in sales. Hats off to the French - they wipe the floor with UK railways nowadays ( with a little help from some British engineers I know! ). Impressive regardless.

[dashloc]

Thank you 593OLYMPUS your remove words from my mouth ! ;)

[dashloc]

You kidding ?! the Maglev swallow ever more energy than any high speed trains French or not !

I agree that's we need to progress whit technology consumtion, at 320 kmh constraint on the track are great, and the TGV eat a lot of electricty, but don't forget that's we beat the airplane on fews destination in the country, that was beating the speed record like this or running at 300 kmh is important, peoples trust in high speed trains here !

[MTTAU]

この音まるでジェット機ですねぇ

[dashloc]

ジェット機 + TGV !

[Dac719]

Who won the race? The jet or the train?

[dashloc]

the TGV ! but the jet wasn't at full speed !

[jockthedog0]

Mate, just brilliant. Pity here in Australia the top speed of our trains is 15km/h!

[dashloc]

Thank you JockthedogO  15 km/h ???! you mean 150 kmh don't you ?

[jockthedog0]

NO our trains here are crap. I was just in france so i'm going to post some europe vs australia in the train department footage.You'll laugh. I'll let you know.

[dashloc]

Really ?! i don't think so, i just like this old Alcos running by there, i will made a loop to your channel ! cheers...

[icerrk]

top noch stuff

well done for this.....

prolly one of the best ive seen so far

[dashloc]

Thank you Icerrk :)

[drzhava73]

I want one!!!!

[cumbas]

behind the Acela there is also the French society Alstom (first society in the world in this domain which builds the french TGV and all its versions in Europe and in the world) in collaboration with the "canadian" Bombardier

Don't forget that all the high-speed trains ON RAILS in Europe are the children or the cousins of the french TGV and just versions of the TGV manufactured by Alstom for the "tastes" of each European countries

Thus, it's normal that Acela have the appearance of the TGV

[dashloc]

That was the Italian ETR401 from fiat, built in 1976.

[dashloc]

ah ! ok, there more than two type of TGV, there in order of built: -TGV PSE (ex orange paint) : max speed : 300kmh/186mph -TGV atlantique : 300kmh/186mph -TGV reseaux, duplex, POS and DASYE, max speed 320kmh/200mph.

[dashloc]

Yahy ! the acela is very nice, i love the head of this train :)

[dashloc]

We can earing the two noise in the vid.

[getofmaballs]

Concorde without wings O.O

[nulos00]

j'entend un leger PU-TAIN au milieu de la video héhéhé !!!

[dashloc]

Baaaah.... ! c'est sortie tout seul ! faut dire que ça avait de quoi couper le souffle sur place...c'est l'émotion qui parle :)

[Badsellcut]

That's brilliant. Darn French know how to make trains!!

[h0ll0wm9n]

Good camera-work and excellent audio fidelity.

[dashloc]

Thank you hOLLOwm9n :)

[benoit91220]

magnifique vidéo!!! bravo

[dashloc]

Merci Benoit91220 a toc et pas plus de 30kmh !!

;)

[grignosse]

Tu peux le dire que c'est "amazing" !! Tu es chanceux de pouvoir être là quand le tout se passe...(Cet été, je vais faire d'autres vidéos de train--Stay Tuned)

[dashloc]

Ok Grignosse, hmmm...other video whit the special "Grignosse effect" ??! :)

[grignosse]

You bet! lol

[overcast86]

575 km/h

[dashloc]

574 kmh in this video ! miss 0,8 kmh !

[MTTAU]

すげぇぇぇ！！！！

この音完璧にジェット機ですねぇ！！

凄い凄過ぎる！！新幹線の最速記録440km

は一体何なんだぁ！！

JRのマグレブでも581Kmってのに鉄道のTGVが574Km­！！

まさにフランスの威信と国家の誇りですねぇ！！

ほんとに凄い！！

[dashloc]

This one will be a bit difficult to understand ! lol !

[trains107]

not trying to be mean...but who cares! trains are awesome wheather they go 10mph or 900mph

[ManOffTTC]

There is a TGV train and a plane?

[benoit91220]

yes a plane to have a direct on the tv

[lepivert]

It's not a plane, it's superman !

[oXaleVo]

hay, i'm from poland. i'm driving in train with's speed 200 km/h but with that speed i never seen in a train, maybe in a aircrtaft, my uncle is pilot, but no in train. it's amazing

[dashloc]

Hi oXaleVo, it's between the train and the airplane !! a strange machine!

[houlala16]

This vid is absolutely AMAZING.!!!!! I love it

[dashloc]

Thank you Houlala16 :)

[s7o0a0p]

If only trainsurfer could have rode that TGV!

[dashloc]

Yeap, certainly superman :)

[class166]

tgvs will beat a buggati veron car would it?

[dashloc]

certainly ...

[bovlch]

Obviously

[dashloc]

Thank you Bovlch :)

[dallyborr]

Now that was fast! I like that TGV thing!

[Sitarfixer]

I would say Americans are not stupid, just ignorant victims of a decayed education system. Fat? - overall, yes! Lazy - never. When motivated, the Americans haul ass like nobody else. Bastards? talk to the parents once they both come back from their jobs! Helluva train!

[wilsonhonda]

Incredible!

[elskerstine]

fast train

[dashloc]

yeap fast !

[pdfsmail]

I definately dont agree with the stupid bastard comment, but our passenger rail system does stink, compared to other countries i have been. its true we keep shooting down our mass transit options. Japan has an excellent train network, i never needed a car when i was there, and not too expensive.

[pierrepepi]

Nope, Britain has the worst rail network in the europe, the rails are old, the investment is not even present thanks to privatisation and the trains that are designed to hit 145 - 160 mph are kept at 80-90 at the most to stop accidents, the system in this here UK is a joke, i'm british and embarresed by it.

[madmaxninja]

This makes the U.S an inferior country since they dont have real high speed trains. Amtrak Acela is a joke.

TGV, ICE, and Japan Shinkensen are the BEST forms of transportation.

Americans are stupid bastards that dont like high speed rail because they are fat lazy bastards.

[peachez982]

that wasn't nice. rude person!

[syncplay]

Pay no attention to that person. Not only is he Amercian himself, but the comments left by others are pretty telling.

[madmaxninja]

U.S. rail transportation is inferior and pathetic to Europe and Japan because U.S. people are fat SUV driving bastards.

Its one of the reasons I am leaving this country.

[JimUSA]

sounded like a JET was flying by.

[dashloc]

yes, that's because there a private jet (this one of the TV) who is flying near the TGV !

[Seb125000]

haha ! ta vidéo, je l'avais regardé au moins 50 fois lors du record. A tel point que je ne la voyais plus. Je regarde à vouveau, comme ça pour rigoler... putain la vitesse ! j'avais oublié

[Polarmass]

Je l'avais oublié celui là

[Polarmass]

Fabuleux, on dirait le bruit d'un avion...

[dashloc]

Bah en faite y' a un jet privé (TV) qui fait la course en rase motte avec le TGV

(invisible sur cette video sauf vers la fin, un petit point vers la gauche).

C'est pour ça que l'on peut voire des images aeriennes du record !

[cattleman6420012000]

It's a fantastic record.

[Steven180691]

I love TGV, I live on Poland and probalby TGV gonna ride on Poland, but i don't think so TGV will ride more than 150 Km/h (90 ml/h) :(

[dashloc]

Did the ICE go ride in Poland ?? really don't remember

this ??

[Steven180691]

No, they don;t ride in Poland ;]

[seagravefan]

Amazing, truly amazing. What started in 1931 with a fleet of 10 EMU's of streamlined design, tested at 100 MPH, built in Philadelphia, PA, USA, has culminated to THIS.

[dashloc]

Did this EMU's had airplane engines on the top ???

i have saw a pictures whit this on the top ! really impressive !

[seagravefan]

Nope. They operated off of electric third rail, tested at speeds over 100 MPH. They were the first railroad equipment ever tested in a wind tunnel. They were built in 1931, retired in 1991.

[elfabyanos]

Erm - no, the USA had no history culminating in this. Europe had already taken electric trains to that speed 30 years earlier. It seems the USA has always been behind europe on this one.

[houlala16]

Not europe only france, 30years ago, for the germans it was 20years ago.

[knightspy]

ilman001 No railway company in the world is seriously considering putting trains that travel at such high speeds into regular passenger service. the maglev in shanghai runs every day at 433 kph not the same design , but it is fast

[123456789cuch]

Que super tren ,simplemente maravilloso es un jet sobre rieles.

[dashloc]

Gracias 123456789cuch, running like a bullet !

[JEANBA57]

salut dashloc, j'ai toujours aimé les trains depuis ma plus tendre enfance voulant meme en faire mon métier mais la passion des airs la emporté sur le rail.

aujourd' hui je suis furieux car cette superbe machine roule presque deux fois plus vite que mon helicoptère, j' ai honte.

blague à part magnifique performance et continue de nous faire rever avec tes vidéos bye.

[dashloc]

Merci à toi Jeanba57, c'était marrant, le train ce tirait la bourre avec un jet de la TV a basse altitude...

et il était devant !!! :)

Au plaisir, tchao :)

[ilman001]

It was just an expensive public stunt paid by Alstom, SNCF and RFF. No railway company in the world is seriously considering putting trains that travel at such high speeds into regular passenger service. The electricity required to operate the train strained the rail line's power grid almost to the breaking point. The overhead electrical lines and a large part of the train's propulsion system can for all intents and purposes be junked after such trip.

[herissonlfth]

Ilman, get your facts right before posting such nonsence. Of course no railway company intends to operate trains running at such a high speed, but your statement that "The overhead electrical lines and a large part of the train's propulsion system can for all intents and purposes be junked after such trip" is total bullshit. This very TGV trainset has been running at speeds over 500km/h many times over the past few weeks.

[jonzofon]

First of all, I read that off the internet. second of all it was intended to test new AGV (Automotrice Grande Vitesse) technology. Also, there is a new LGV (ligne Grande Vitesse) going between France and Germany via Strasbourg (France) that was also being tested. TGVs recycle 25% of the energy they use so there is no problem. They won't do this all the time anyway. They were testing new technology not doing a publicity stunt.

[b111791]

Uh-oh! I sense fast train envy. Some people just hate to see rail succeed.

[ilman001]

Fast train envy from Japan? I don't think so. If you count a one-off record for success that's fair enough. Because I don't.

[jonzofon]

TGV have to be safe up to 200km/h above the intended commcercial speed. SNCF always test new high-speed lines they did it for the 1990 record attempt. The train isn't going to be scrapped, after the 1990 record the train was returned into normal service and a banner and plaque was put on the train to commemerate the attempt.

[ilman001]

Not the whole train but the train's propulsion system has been replaced after the record attempt. If you think the SNCF can afford to buy a new propulsion system after every journey you're wrong. They can't. That's why this whole thing was a one-off and not an every day occurance.

[jonzofon]

i suppose your right, the propolsion system is probably too powerful for commercial service.

[vieuxpiaf]

Finalement c'est là que j'aurais dû me placer, excellent! La semaine prochaine ils remettent ça, 2 marches à plus de 500kmh par jour, si seulement ils pouvaient éreinter ce putain de maglev, peut-être qu'ils auront moins peur d'arracher les caténaires vu le peu de témoins...

[dashloc]

Ah bon ?? mais j'ai pas l'info ( tu m'étonne là !)

Peux tu m'en dire + ou c'est TOP SECRET ?

[h1aa]

Amazing. It is the future right now.

[DANIEL64700]

A quelle vitesse pas t'il devant vous?

[dashloc]

574 kmh, en faite il passe sous le premier pont entre 573 et 574 kmh !!

[DANIEL64700]

Bravo, vous avez bien choisi l'endroit, ça devait être très impressionant dans un bruit d'enfer j'imagine...Merci encore

[dashloc]

De rien, je crois que les images parlent d'elles memes !!

[dashloc]

Thank you Judelawbreaker, that was incredible to whatch

the train made the race whit the jet !!

[dekfungton]

Wow! I really like this video dashloc! Did you hear about California and tgv? They want to build a bullet train with French technology between SF and LA!

[dashloc]

Yeah i had ear that ! That's could be a great idea !!

[scones288]

De rien Seb125000, des vidéos amateur comme ça je veux bien en faire plus souvent !! :)

[hk1997die]

OMG!
