It all began with the unique Shinkansen system!

[hansfredmueller]

looks like ice:D...i think its the same...ice is also made by siemens

[tigrius]

@hansfredmueller ICE 3 is Velaro

[Raffix394]

@tigrius no it's not the ICE3 is made by siemens and bombardier the velaro is only made by siemens it's based on the ice 3 but it isn't the ice3 ifacht the velaro is faster and is the fastest non modified train in the world

[DarkDudeForever]

@hansfredmueller the ICE is a Velaro ;)

[TrainHDworld]

@DarkDudeForever The ICE is not a Velaro..

Velaro is loosely built after the ICE 3. Please don't get confused..

[Raffix394]

@TrainHDworld The Velaro D runs under the name ICE-3 in Germany (there are other ICE-3 models build by Siemens and Bormandier the Velaro D is a Siemens only project)

[TrainHDworld]

@Raffix394  I know.... Because Velaro-D will be painted in the ICE 3 type livery..

[Raffix394]

@hansfredmueller The ICE trains wih eception of the Velaro D are made by Siemens and Bombardier. the Velaro is a Siemens only produuct

[kokansenhikari]

Siemens recent success for selling high speed rail systems directly stems from adopitng to Japanese EMU Shinkansen system.

[nielsmeyer]

@kokansenhikari: yeah. right. and the transrapid system was invented in china and not in Germany. As if...

[MikeGinny]

The only problem is that the video shows the trains zipping by far faster than 350km/h. I've stood near one traveling at 300km/h (and there are many videos) and while it is impressive, the train takes a few seconds to go past. They show it flashing past in less than one second.

It's fast, but not THAT fast.

[TrickyEmu]

Actually, they can reach 390 km/h as conventional trains.

@MikeGinny

100meter length train will take 1.2 sec to pass a point, if traveling at 300km/h.

200meter train will take 2.4 sec.

300meter train will take 3.6 sec.

400meter train will take 4.8 sec. etc.

watch "ktx-ii passing" video for comparison

[Cre7tiv]

The fastest serial-train on earth.
