Did you know that the fastest train in the world is in Shanghai? It is the Shanghai Maglev Train (magnetic levitation train). We rode it!
"The top operational commercial speed of this train is
431 km/h (268 mph), making it the world's fastest train in regular commercial services since its opening in 2004, faster than previous record holder at 320 km/h with TGV in France and also faster than the latest CRH conventional wheel train in China at 350 km/h. The top speed of 431 km/h (268 mph) is also faster than the top speed of any production automobile (except for the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport, which has roughly the same top speed), Formula One car
, or MotoGP
super bikes." - Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shanghai_Maglev
So, that's fast, right??!
