The oldest railways were built in the 6th century. BC. The man himself acted as a draft force on such a road. Steam engines came to the aid of man only in the 18th century. And in the 1880s, the first electric locomotives appeared.

However, for a long time, trains remained far from being the fastest mode of transport, giving way to aviation. Although modern railways allow you to move at a speed of 300-500 km / h. The fastest trains in the world represented in our top ten.

9. InterCity Express (320 km / h), Europe

ICE express trains are especially popular in Germany. Similar trains are also delivered to Russia, where they are used on the Moscow-Nizhny Novgorod and Moscow-St. Petersburg high-speed lines, but the configuration of domestic railways does not allow for maximum speed.

8. Eurostar (300 - 334 km / h), Europe

This high-speed train runs between France, Belgium and Britain through the English Channel tunnel. At the same time, Eurostar delivers 900 passengers from London to Paris in just 2 hours 16 minutes.

The train was designed and built by Hyundai Rotem engineers based on French TGV trains. The capacity of the train is 363 passengers. For safety reasons, the train does not reach maximum speed, carrying passengers at a maximum of 305 km / h.

The Elettro Treno Rapido 500 was first launched in 1993. From the center of Bologna to the center of Milan, the train takes 56 minutes. In 2014, an updated version of the train will be launched - ETR-1000, the maximum speed of which will be 400 km / h.

5. AVE Talgo-350 (330 - 365 km / h), Spain

3. Shanghai Maglev Train (431 - 501 km / h), China

This high-speed magnetic suspension train has been in operation in China since 2004, although it was only recently called the vehicle of the future.
