    No seed limits of super hwys, man what fun. Trains that do 570kph. We sure need high speed rail in NA. Victorian rules with alcohol, I was allowed to have a beer at 5 in a tavern (wirthshaft) in Germany. Basically grew up with beer & wine. Never had a problem, also bring Coronas to work in Summer.

    Wow, is that 570 kph for a regular route, or for a test run?

    No, they average out at 570K. Some train in France went 600K+

    According to you tube China will soon have a "mag-lev" train capable of a 1000Kph:)

    Funny here in Ottawa we have the infamous LRT disaster. Once a train derailed at 60kph.....
    I was on a French train doing 600K, it was so smooth, your cup of coffee had no shim, amazing tech.
    Japanese Bullet trains are fastest today, till that Chinese Mag-Lev comes on line.
    I would hate to be on a train that derailed at 1000KPH.
