1. Shanghai Maglev: 267 miles per hour
Charging
$ 8 per person per person, Maglev runs from Shanghai's Pudong
International Airport about 19 miles away to Longyang Metro Station in
the outskirts of Shanghai. That's right- the train, which takes only 7
minutes to complete the journey using the magnetic uplift (maglev)
technique, and the train touches the speed of 431 km / h (267 miles per
hour) on its way
2. Faxing Hau CR 400 AF / BF: 249 miles per hour
Currently
the world's fastest non-maglev train service is in China. The name
"faxing hao" means "rejuvenation". It takes only five hours to zip 556
passengers between Beijing South and Shanghai Hongqiao station, which
work around 10 hours time to ride the traditional, parallel rail line
between these two megalopoliss.
3. Shinkansen H5 and E5: 224 mph
Japan
is celebrating 54th anniversary of high-speed train travel this year
(started in 1964). H5 and E5 series Shinkansen are running Tohoku and
Hokkaido services respectively, there are two new bullet trains on
Japan's tracks, and so far the fastest in the regular commercial service
in the country.
4. Italo and Freciarossa: 220 miles per hour
Italy's
Duel Train operator, NTV and Trenitalia, has launched two high-speed
trains, the fastest in Europe, which is capable of reaching passengers
from Milan to Florence or Rome in less than three hours. Francescosa was
unveiled during the Expo 2015 in Milan
5. Rainforest Ave: 217 miles per hour
Spanish's
fastest train is Valera E by Siemens, and it is used for long distance
services from major Spanish cities and beyond: Traveling from Barcelona

6. Harman Western Railway: 217 miles per hour
The
Mecca-Medina high-speed link spreads 281 miles between the most holy
cities of Saudi Arabia and has been in partial operations since December
2017. The length of the route takes about four and a half hours to
travel, compared to the car by five hours. However, there is no complete
justification for the construction of this railway; Harman is expected
to carry three million passengers annually, in which many Haj and Umra
pilgrims are getting relief from the crowd of traffic.
