Your favorite bullet train?

Eurostar was the fastest train you have ridden?  You didn't have a chance to ride in any of the Shinkansen in Japan?

I had the pleasure to take Shinkansen between Tokyo and Shizuoka city in 2005.  It was a very smooth ride.  It seems that the passenger compartment is air-tight, but when 2 trains were going by each other there was a very distinctive rumble of air.

That's the Fuji train right? We were planning on it, but there was way too much to do in Tokyo to take the trip. I ended up getting a Kato 500 set as compensation.

It's only mildly surprising, I suppose that nobody has posted this beautiful train.
Amtrak Cascades Talgo set that runs between Seattle and Portland.  It reminds me of Mader.   

God I hate these new control cabs. I prefer the ones that have the Cabbages instead.

I think my favorite will always be the TGV.  I had a chance to ride in the cab from Marseilles to Avignon as a guest of the French National railroad.  I posted the video several months back.  And you can find others on youtube.

When I was living in Birkenfeld, Germany, We use to go to paris pretty often, and would catch the ICE3/TGV in either K-town or Saarbrucken. I miss both trains.

Come to think of it, I miss Europe....

It would be nice to live in Switzerland - no crazy politics, and lots of awesome trains in very picturesque settings.

Coming to an east coast near you, may I present: the Brightline!



The train is currently under construction in Sacramento, and is planned to start service in Florida some time in 2017. Should be pretty slick!
