China has the world’s fastest and largest high-speed rail network — more than 19,000 miles, the vast majority of which was built in the past decade.<br /><br />Japan’s bullet trains can reach nearly 200 miles per hour and date to the 1960s. They have moved more than 9 billion people without a single passenger causality. casualty <br /><br />France began service of the high-speed TGV train in 1981 and the rest of Europe quickly followed.<br /><br />But the U.S. has no true high-speed trains, aside from sections of Amtrak’s Acela line in the Northeast Corridor. The Acela can reach 150 mph for only 34 miles of its 457-mile span. Its average speed between New York and Boston is about 65 mph.<br /><br />California’s high-speed rail system is under construction, but whether it will ever get completed as intended is uncertain.<br /><br />Watch the video to see why the U.S. continues to fail with high-speed trains, and some companies that are trying to fix that.
