Comments:TGV makes 574.8 km/h on rails

Wow
That is amazing, that's close to the cruising speed of jetliners. I hope nothing ever gets on the track because at those speeds, it's gonna be ugly. --SVTCobra 22:13, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I was thinking that earlier.. How long do you think it would take that train to stop in an emergency? And how many squirrels crushed? —Zachary talk 22:15, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Dunno, but it would have to be quite a distance. If they hit "full reverse" it'd have to come close to melting the tracks and/or wheels. Obviously there are no road crossings, but suicidals might be tempted to throw themselves in front of these trains.--SVTCobra 01:26, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
