Default Holy hell this train is fast!!

Check out this TGV train in France going 35X mph, unbelievable.

I rode in one from Germany to Amsterdam going about 120 and it was incredible, I can't even imagine tripling that.

Sweet. Beats having a hundred individual POV's going from city to city. And, a lot faster too.
