On 27 Sept. 2007 I was using the Maglev high-speed train (based on German Transrapid technology) and you can see how it accelerates to an incredible speed of 430 km/h. The 30-km line (constructed between 2001 and 2004) runs between the Shanghai Lujiazui financial district and Pudong Shanghai International Airport whereby a ride takes about 8 minutes. The Transrapid in Shanghai has a design speed of over 500 km/h (310 mph) and a regular service speed of 430 km/h (267 mph). Shanghai Maglev is the world's fastest railway system in commercial operation. Other Maglev lines within China may follow.
At this speed they might replace planes soon.

that's really cool.. when your camera is on the window you can really get a feel for how fast it goes as you pull away from traffic.
