at 574 Kph we are almost at 75% of jet liner speed (700 kph) , plus you add the security check and baggage check and driving to and from airport this train will be faster, Say in France Paris to Marseilles in this train would take 1.5 hrs a flight would take the same time, but the real advantage is planes cannot run on electricity they have to burn fossil fuels and pollute the environment.
Super impressive but very scary . No need for laxatives after a trip on this train . Anyone know the normal speed for passenger journeys on this train ? . I assume this is merely a one off trial and normal journeys a lot slower . Speeds of this magnitude would certainly be great for travel but the thought of a crash is too horrendous to contemplate .
@SPARKY53100 I was thinking the same thing. That's a great engineering accomplishment but what if some terrorist decided to put a iron spike on the track at that speed I would think the train would derail with ease.
@AnaMaghribi05 , 80 mph is equivalent to about 130 km/h. Oh, how much easier so many things in this world could be, if the developing countries implemented the SI system instead of their ridiculous ancient units... ;-)
I don't think cars and roads are a bad thing. They just need to be used more wisely. Cleaner emission standards and passenger requirements (there is no need for the traffic I see with each having one passenger inside) should be implemented to cut down on pollution and surburban sprawl.
@craigcrawford1988 it is. Of cause this train is a special version but even the "normal" verion runs with 320 km/h (200 mph) and you don't feel a shit. there are no typical train noises like the "ticking" when a wheel passes a weld. i have no clue what these french ingenieurs did but the tgv is way better the our german ice (german high speed train) which is supposed to be a "masterpeace of german engineering"
I took an Amtrak train from Detroit to Chicago, it took 8hrs to go 280mi. This train could have got me there in 40min. Trains in the US are so pathetic!!!!!
@BNSFDisneyZildjian We know that and it's not the American people that want to stay dependent on the motor vehicle. It's our government that keeps us that way. By not offering things like the TGV, it forces us to buy cars. If it was easy to just up and move to Europe, I would do it immediately.
@srabchun Plus, High Speed Rail with positively impact the environment well too. Less congested freeways. The term "traffic jam" will be a thing of the past. But yes like you said its the government that keeps it that way. :[
@cs021093 What do you expect....trains at speed of 300-400 ?? Is it possible at a place where thousands cross rails every hour and many die boz of this....or many poor, who just can afford rail will be able to travel in such trains...it won't happen in years...
Too bad there is nothing like this fantastic machine here in the USA. That team must have been very proud that day. I wish I could have seen it run myself. Great video. On rails at half the speed of an airliner, amazing.
@ApolloWasReal No, it is a multiple unit, eg each coach has motors on both axles linked by a HV bus bar, but the pantographs, transformers and control equipment are in the end cars. The rear panto is used for improved aerodynamic and contact efficiency, but both ends receive current via the roof mounted bus bar.
@soundseeker63 Thanks for the details. It's amazing to think that they were pumping about 25 MW through that one pantograph. It certainly did spark!
I do wonder why they didn't have redundant pantographs wired in parallel in case one loses contact with the wire. I have read that the wave induced in the wire by the pantograph was one of the main speed-limiting factors.
@Jahoovenator the penny would either get completely flat by its velocity or get blown away already from its airpressure and the front. Its also what these skirts are designed for. To blow foreign objects out of the rails, before it hit the wheels.
... you waited for 3 hours at the top of the bridge to see the train pass, and when the train is about to pass you happened to blink... and yes you missed the train... that how fast it is...
Looking at this train, the only thing I think that could be limiting its ultimate potential are the cable contacts. If they add a second cable contact they can cut the massive power arching in half and possibly send more power current to the motors they so desperately need! This train is awesome, I hope it reaches 400 mph soon. Go steel!
@gamekiiid lol save muslims? are you kidding me :D? why french and usa nato they know where is gadafi why they dont kill him? dont blieve this bullshit some afghan and arab take 4 plane and hit it WTC comon what a bullshit if you blieve !
i dont have enough about Romaina but can say that our governments choose to buy instead of investment in production. This is globally tech to make money exchange. And we allways have to buy after seen anyone who did more. Otherway if you wants to improve rail way your neighboring countries must have same standart railway infrastructure. Like France-Germany. So we use trains as an alternative to the bus, French use an alternative to the plane.

@webdeveloper007 This train is impressively fast, but not faster than a plane. Large airliners frequently exceed 560 mph (~900 km/h). However, the TGV would certainly compete with some smaller planes, like turboprop-powered regional airliners (Bombardier Q-400 for example, which cruises around 350 mph/~560 km/h). It's still pretty damn exciting to experience this kind of speed on the ground though.
In the US the corporations are busy filling up their pockets, drown world financial systems while at it, and then they get trillions of dollars in bailouts from a government they bitch about. The American people are like a milked cow who never complain, confused and turn on each other when push comes to shove. That is America for you. The land of the plenty, Right!!!!!!!
In the US our trains top out around 70mph, that's it. Our corrupt government just wastes all our tax money on God knows what, instead of helping build something useful like this.
@zenmachinefilms It is really useful. I was shocked to see how easy it was to get from place to place. Always on time and well used. Such a comfortable way to travel. I have ridden the TGV the Bullet train in Japan. They are both great. The TGV however has a bar, with nice wine and fine cheese to enjoy, while speeding through the countryside at 400 klicks. It is marvalous
@aggiespilot at 574 Kph we are almost at 75% of jet liner speed (700 kph) , plus you add the security check and baggage check and driving to and from airport this train will be faster, Say in France Paris to Marseilles in this train would take 1.5 hrs a flight would take the same time, but the real advantage is planes cannot run on electricity they have to burn fossil fuels and pollute the environment.
@bodhiganguly Still not as fast. The reason high speed trains work in the EU is cause, for the most part, everything is centralized. That's why you see lots of Amtrak in the east and not out west, because for the most part, everyone is going to the same area. And your fossil fuel thing is invalid, Electricity isn't run on unicorn farts, you have to burn FOSSIL FUELS to make it. Therefore your argument over the burning of fossil fuels is irrelevant.
@zenmachinefilms geez you should see the trains here in victoria and new south wales, in australia. they re gauged the track and new concrete sleepers. and now they get mud holes. trains havent ran properly for ages. trains run slow they talk of a fast train service but they cant even get this right. some drivers even go down to 60 km at the bad stages of the track.
And the point of this exercise was???? To see how many miles of overhead wire the pantograph has totally fucked or just to blow some dust from the rails?
Weve seen many cases where animals get on tracks. This would pulvarize the animal instantly, but would it cause any damage to the front of the train depending on the animal? Also see that these tracks are built away from forrest or trees, which is obvious, due to falling trees that happen on tracks all the time. Ive seen big locomotive push the tree out of the way, but what would happen if this hit a 2 foot diameter tree trunk at those speeds? Whats to stop terrorism from happening on these?
These things seem great but unless they have a locking mechanism keeping them from flying off the track at any given problem, I don't want to be on one. The tracks would have to constantly be watched for acts of terrorism. Furthermore, the cost on them would have to be outrageous since they cannot cross any streets.
maybe because the railway system in France is public, so when they decide to open a new line, it's easier than in the states.
moreover the regular cruising speed is "only" around 300km/h so for long distances like Denver-NY it's still a very long travel, while by plane it's much more faster.
our countries are smaller, so there is no real point to wait an hour at the airport on departure and arrival in France when you can just jump in a train and buy the ticket on board.
@Texanul1 me too i don't understand why america does not have high speed trains. it is such a vast country... in Europe every main country has a network of high speed trains (France, Germany, Spain,...) and even continentail high speed trains (Eurostar, Thalys) so... why does america does not spend money to a sustainable transport?
@jodonalds It is BECAUSE it is a vast country - you mentioned france germany and spain. The largest of those - France - is 15 times smaller than the States... You think SNCF trains go fast - have you ever heard of a 747? Triple the cruising speed of these trains...
@harkengear yes indeed it is a vast country well let's say 4000 km. well from the north of Germany, you can travell to the south of Spain around 3500km... so what is the difference? Trains are so much easier than airplanes, where you have to be houres before the plane takes of. a train... just 15 minutes before departure, or even less...
Thanks for this great footage (and sound quality). Missed the coverage when it was breaking, but now it's even better when viewed with a suitable tune to accompany it(I tried 'Propaganda - Jewelled (Duel/Jewel re-mix)' from about 2:25 into your video & it seems to fit very nicely).
Many thanks again from a long-time Class 43 (HST) fan.
it is electric traction record. For diesel powered engines the world record - 271 km/h, and this record hasn't been beaten since 1993 and russia stil holding record for this.
This was an enormous achievement by the French. Doing this speed with wheels on normal rail was amazingly brave. This conventional rail speed record is the most important.
@daddyschlong14 I think Potter's Bar, Great Heck, Hatfield, Paddington, Southall, Cowden, Clapham Junction are the reason we don't go fast. Also the French have NO vandals or hooligans or ill mannered youths ruining their line in their country, they are very lucky.

@zenmachinefilms geez you should see the trains here in victoria and new south wales, in australia. they re gauged the track and new concrete sleepers. and now they get mud holes. trains havent ran properly for ages. trains run slow they talk of a fast train service but they cant even get this right. some drivers even go down to 60 km at the bad stages of the track.

Too bad we dont have a good rail service like that in the United States!

Weve seen many cases where animals get on tracks. This would pulvarize the animal instantly, but would it cause any damage to the front of the train depending on the animal? Also see that these tracks are built away from forrest or trees, which is obvious, due to falling trees that happen on tracks all the time. Ive seen big locomotive push the tree out of the way, but what would happen if this hit a 2 foot diameter tree trunk at those speeds? Whats to stop terrorism from happening on these?

These things seem great but unless they have a locking mechanism keeping them from flying off the track at any given problem, I don't want to be on one. The tracks would have to constantly be watched for acts of terrorism. Furthermore, the cost on them would have to be outrageous since they cannot cross any streets.

maybe because the railway system in France is public, so when they decide to open a new line, it's easier than in the states.
moreover the regular cruising speed is "only" around 300km/h so for long distances like Denver-NY it's still a very long travel, while by plane it's much more faster.
our countries are smaller, so there is no real point to wait an hour at the airport on departure and arrival in France when you can just jump in a train and buy the ticket on board.

@Texanul1 me too i don't understand why america does not have high speed trains. it is such a vast country... in Europe every main country has a network of high speed trains (France, Germany, Spain,...) and even continentail high speed trains (Eurostar, Thalys) so... why does america does not spend money to a sustainable transport?

@jodonalds because america is corrupted due the oil bussines

@jodonalds It is BECAUSE it is a vast country - you mentioned france germany and spain. The largest of those - France - is 15 times smaller than the States... You think SNCF trains go fast - have you ever heard of a 747? Triple the cruising speed of these trains...
harkengear 1 year ago
@harkengear yes indeed it is a vast country well let's say 4000 km. well from the north of Germany, you can travell to the south of Spain around 3500km... so what is the difference? Trains are so much easier than airplanes, where you have to be houres before the plane takes of. a train... just 15 minutes before departure, or even less...

Thanks for this great footage (and sound quality). Missed the coverage when it was breaking, but now it's even better when viewed with a suitable tune to accompany it(I tried 'Propaganda - Jewelled (Duel/Jewel re-mix)' from about 2:25 into your video & it seems to fit very nicely).
Many thanks again from a long-time Class 43 (HST) fan.

This was an enormous achievement by the French. Doing this speed with wheels on normal rail was amazingly brave. This conventional rail speed record is the most important.

@daddyschlong14 I think Potter's Bar, Great Heck, Hatfield, Paddington, Southall, Cowden, Clapham Junction are the reason we don't go fast. Also the French have NO vandals or hooligans or ill mannered youths ruining their line in their country, they are very lucky.
