Japan just built world’s fastest train
The fastest train the United States is the Acela Express, which travels between Washington DC and Boston at speeds as high as 150 miles per hour (though the average speed is lower than that). Trains are a lot faster elsewhere in the world, especially in Europe and Asia. One of the fastest commercial trains in the world is the Shanghai Maglev Train, which travels up to 268 miles per hour.
Japan is looking to surpass China with a new train that can go more than 310 miles per hour. Passengers got an opportunity to ride the new train this week:
What’s being tested this week is the first section of a longer route that is slated to be finished in 2027. The Daily Mail reports that “When completed in 2027, their exceptional speed capacity will cut the travel time by half, linking Tokyo’s Shinagawa Station with Nagoya in about 40 minutes, a journey which currently takes approximately 80 minutes.”
Could technology like this come to the United States? Amtrak released a proposal in 2010 that could allow trains to carry passengers from Washington to New York in as little 96 minutes, and from New York to Boston in just 84 minutes. But building the system would cost $117 billion and the project won’t be finished until 2040 at the earliest.

Sir Richard Branson! Funny you should mention him as I am looking right at him! He is on the cover of my October 2014 Entrepreneur Magazine! LOL I am going to hopefully interview Steve Wynn by the January/February 2015 Issue. I want to talk about The Wynn Macau, his most recent developments in Boston and his generous Philanthropic contributions! I admire Steve Wynn a lot because he is almost blind and yet he has defied the odds time and time again! His creativity is pure genius! Richard Branson is also on my favorites list but I do not have a connection to him. With regard to Yuto, that kid is a musical prodigy and he is already enjoying wonderful experiences as a result of his incredible talent! 🙂

Yuto has a future…but hopefully not with Ozzie.
Can a Mach 1 train be next? Imagine the window damage. Maybe a Richard Branson idea? Is he on your “to be interviewed” list? Aussie outback Mach 1 express. Don’t spill your Fosters, mate.
