Souped-up locomotive hits 357.2 mph

That's fuck'n movin for a train.

Just think what kind of damage that would do if it derailed. But damn 357.2 thats moving.

That's insane, I figured France couldn't engineer anything that cool. But then again they have that awesome bridge.

Wow, that thing was hauling some ass! I wonder low long it took them to get it stopped?

Hahaha... that damn train has been all over the news today. I am the only one that doesnt give two shits about it?

[Matt D.]

Keep in mind that the train is completely electric as well.

[FattyBoomBatty]

you sure bout dat? why does it say 25,000hp engines? Or was it motors? I know it said they cranked up the boost to 31,000 volts, but a 25k hp electric motor would be ginormous.

Nope, I'm with you, having a train move that fast isn't needed in my eyes.

Why do planes need to go faster than 200 mph then? There's no need and it wastes fuel.
