ABOARD TRAIN V150, France: Roaring like a jet plane, spitting sparks and trailing dust, a French train with a souped-up engine and special wheels broke the world speed record Tuesday for conventional rail trains, reaching 574.8 kph (357.2 mph).
Sounds like that was a fun ride. Still, it is much slower than the trains that have been proposed to cross the Atlantic.
