500 KPH Train

This train can reach top speeds of 310 Miles per hour (hits 267 in the video)

And no, it’s not French, or German, or Japanese.

It’s a Chinese magnetically levitated train.

And in the USA?   What do we have?

An underfunded rail system using 1970’s technology and 60 mph trains.  We should be embarassed.
