Talking French Train Breaks Speed Record!

Just saw this on CNN.com

• France's TGV reaches top speed of 357.2 mph (574.8 kph)
• Japan's Maglev train holds the absolute train speed record
• Test data expected to improve passenger security and comfort

It would be a blast to ride that!!

Absolutely spectacular! I have dreamed of such a train along the Flagstaff, Phoenix, Tucson corridor for YEARS! It makes sense but will never happen. Sheesh, we can't even get them to widen the highway from two lanes to three!!
