The world's fastest train
- last year
The world's fastest train currently in commercial service is the Shanghai Maglev Train in China. It has a top speed of 431 kilometers per hour (268 miles per hour). The train uses magnetic levitation technology, which allows it to "float" above the tracks, reducing friction and enabling high speeds. However, it's worth noting that the Shanghai Maglev Train is a limited line, operating between Shanghai Pudong International Airport and Longyang Road in Shanghai
