China’s CRH380A has now set the bar for being the world’s fastest train during a conventional rail test run. The previously held record, also in China, was 394.3 kilometers per hour and its new bullet train cruised right past it at a mouth-flapping 416.5 km/h. The manufacturers paid tribute to their past by designing the speed demon to resemble an ancient sword; a fitting symbol for this power-house of swift movement.
Both Asia and Europe have also shown their grit against the rails pushing North America to take a look at its quickly rusting ones. The implementation of new subway cars in Toronto, Canada has definitely improved the comfort of daily commuters, however, the country may need to set their eyes on globally revolutionary tactics to be noticed.
Tourists and world travelers must make a stop in China to board this ancient sword of speed, it may be short-lived ride but it'll surely have your hair standing on end.
