High-speed trains

High-speed trains are advanced rail systems designed to travel at much higher speeds than conventional trains, often exceeding 155 mph (250 km/h). They typically operate on specially designed tracks that reduce friction and allow for smoother rides. Countries like Japan, France, and China have developed extensive high-speed rail networks, which provide fast, efficient transportation between major cities, reducing travel times significantly. These trains are known for their comfort and reliability, contributing to lower carbon emissions compared to cars and planes. High-speed rail is seen as a sustainable alternative for connecting urban areas and promoting economic growth.
