🚄 Top 5 Fastest Trains in the World (by top recorded or operational speed)

1. JR Central L0 Series Maglev – Japan

Record Speed: ~603 km/h (375 mph) — world record for rail vehicles

Uses magnetic levitation (maglev), not traditional wheels.



2. CRRC Maglev 600 – China

Designed Speed: ~600 km/h (373 mph)

A next-generation maglev (under development/testing).



3. TGV POS – France

Record (steel-wheeled train): 574.8 km/h (357.2 mph) set in tests

Holds the world speed record for conventional high-speed trains.



4. Shanghai Maglev – China

Operational Top Speed: ~460 km/h (286 mph)

Fastest commercially running train using magnetic levitation.



5. CR450AF / CR400 ‘Fuxing’ family – China

Service or Design Speed: ~400–450 km/h (249–281 mph)

One of the fastest conventional (wheel-on-rail) bullet trains is planned/operational.

🧠 Notes to understand the list

Maglev vs. Conventional high-speed trains

Maglev (magnetic levitation) trains like the L0 Series and Shanghai Maglev float above the track using magnets, reducing friction and enabling much higher speeds.

Conventional wheel-on-rail high-speed trains (such as the TGV and Fuxing) rely on advanced track and train designs to reach high speeds.


Operational vs. Test Records

Some speeds (e.g., TGV at 574.8 km/h or L0 Series at 603 km/h) were achieved during controlled test runs, not in regular passenger service.

Among these, Shanghai Maglev remains the fastest train currently running in regular commercial service.
