Travel Briefing: France's TGV
Last year the TGV raced across eastern France to set a new speed record. Shuttling at 357 mph, TGV became one of the fastest high speed trains in the world. The only train faster is the Maglev from Japan, which magnetically levitates above the rails on a unique railway system. But for now, TGV holds the title as the fastest conventional railway train in the world.
Recently we came across footage of TGV’s record setting run. As we watched, we were jealous. When will the States make high speed rail a priority? Air travel needs a viable competitor. Perhaps a domestic TGV would do the trick.
