I forget if I'm off by a digit or so but here is the speed info for the tgv:
-current max travelling speed ( 320 or 220? )
-projected max speed on the updated lines, and the new East line will be around 350 370 ( 250/270?! )

When the east line is fully in place it will take about 3 hours and a half instead of 5 or so to go to Paris from where I live

It's a real shame that rail travel in the US went down so much in the late 60's and 70's.

I really love trains, what I would have given to ride in a dome car through the Cascades or Rockies on the Great Northern's Empire Builder...




Amtrak is good, but its a shell of the private rail companies of the first half of the 20th century that ruled American travel.
