User:FlyAkwa/Land speed record for rail vehicles

< User:FlyAkwa
TGV 4402 (operation V150) reaching 574 km/h
JR-Maglev MLX01 at Yamanashi.
Rocket sled that achieved Mach 8.5.

Determination of the fastest rail vehicle in the world varies depending on the definition of "rail".

Official absolute world record for conventional train is held by the French TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse). In April 2007, a specially tuned train, reduced to 3 cars with higher voltage, broke the world record, reaching 574.8 km/h (357.2 mph).

The world record for non-conventional train is held by the experimental Japanese JR-Maglev, having achieved 581 km/h (361 mph) on a magnetic-levitation track.

Unmanned rocket sleds that ride on rails have reached over 10,400 km/h (6,460 mph), equivalent to Mach 8.5.

The fastest manned rail vehicle was a manned rocket sled, that travelled at 1,017 km/h (632 mph).
