Not the most recent clip, but I still like it when I see it.
Just wanna share it with others. :):
Japanese bullet train ("the Shinkansen") going maybe about 200km/h (120Mph).
At region where the train doesn't stop much the normal speed approaches 300km/h :eek1

not sure how to direct link a video clip, so here's the link:

Ps: turn on your computer speaker to hear the thunderous sound.

Thanks FS...it certainly aint hangin' around. The only train i have ever been on that was fast was the chunnel train last year. It did 300 kph (180mph) & it felt like it was only doing a quarter of that speed until you went past a lightpost or farm house.

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean. It doesn't feel that fast from the inside, but looking at one moving from the outside is a completely different thing isn't it? :D
