    REMINDER TO AMERICANS: Amtrak sucks (and so does your domestic airline service).

      Attached: 4 images On this day 35 years ago, TGV unit 325 set the land speed record at 515.3 km/h on the LGV Atlantique. This beat the previous record set by the same train on the 5th December 1989 of 482 km/h on the Hannover-Würzburg line Both these records managed to surpass the record set by an experimental ICE prototype in West Germany in 1988, thus establishing French engineering as superior to the German, at least on speed. This record stayed current until 2007, when SNCF topped this with a TGV POS setting the new record at 568 and then 574,8 km/h. TGV 325 is now decommissioned, and is kept at the Cité du Train in Mulhouse.

      @cstross One thing that I find quirky about the US is that they love to put a bigger number on something than everybody else did, and at the same time they're a large, mostly empty country where trains have the room to go really fast, and yet they've completely ignored the unofficial worldwide race to have the fastest train in commercial service.
