Revolutionary Road Ahead for Trains, Thanks to China's 245MPH CRH

There's a revolutionary road ahead for trains, thanks to China's ultra fast 245MPH 394.2MPH (thanks for the tip Blatherr) CRH, which is touted as the world's fastest. This train "reduces the 664-mile journey to just a three-hour ride and cuts the previous journey time by more than seven-and-a-half hours, the official Xinhua news agency said."

Test runs for the service began earlier in December and the link officially went into service when the first scheduled train left the eastern metropolis of Wuhan on Saturday.
