Nicely seen...and then there is our almost complete lack of passenger rail other than light rail in major cities and Amtrak. I think some fast trains are in some phase of development for the Northeast. I need to do a little research.

Whoa! nice, very nice..as Rob says far superior to what we have over here.They also travel at light speed compared to our wind up models.Then again ours fall off the track if they run over a leaf, so probably just as well we have a man walking in front with a red flag.

Futuristic train. The U.S. needs to send people around the world to check out these high speed trains. Our government has not funded infrastructure in 25 years. Dana

I wish they really had trains like this in Regina (Saskatchewan).
