this train does not contaminate. it'electric power ! TGV is the train that waste less energy. For safety, this train runs every, day since 1998, at 200mp/h with no accident on high speed line!

you're wrong Cre7tiv! In 1988 a normal TGV (the Atlantique one with no modification) runned at 408km/h (official world record). Even Germany is hesitating in buying Ice or AGV( the new TGV : 360km/h -225mp/h)So i don't think that this record is useless.

gwt your dumb friends to play chicken with it

@krashno It uses the electricity from the French grid. Something like 75% of France's electricity generation is from the nuclear plants => the train is mostly nuclear powered leaving nuclear waste and risking a Chernobyl/Fukushima someday. As does the rest of the France.

TGV by Alton is a best train in the World! Go to new AVG! Tomara que o Brasil adote o TGV ou AVG como trem de alta velocidade! Muito melhor do que qualquer outro, inclusive melhor do que o Shinkasen Japonês disparado. =)

Feel sorry for any critters that might be crossing at the time. LOL

No, the train doesn't directly emit contamination. It does indirectly. What the French have done (and the US with Acela) is to move the pollution source away from the rails to the power plants (whatever kind) instead.

[icecardinal]

To achieve that speed coast to coast would cost more money than I can think of! You'd need grade separation (imagine a driver going around gates to beat this guy), special track (expensive), and separate Right Of Way from freight lines that's very level and straight. That last part alone is prohibitively expensive enough to make that "project" firmly in the "Ain't gonna happen" files. In my opinion.

TheIncredibleKrunk is an idiot and can't even use the right "know". 6000 mph is a speed that the X-15 or a spacecraft does, not something in the lower atmosphere does.
