RE:India, any lessons
by Rohit Bahl on Apr 03, 2007 08:30 PM

No offense meant, but Indian trains are far better than the land record setting trains. If you read the complete coverage, the train took two engine for 3 bogies. The new generation Rajdhani train engines normally clock around 150 KMPH with a single engine, and 15 bogies. Need to check the speed of the TGV in those situations.

Moreover, just for the testing purposes, the electicity tenstion in overhead cables was increased from 25000V to 31000V.

Just for information, the train which set the fastest speed, normally runs at 300 KMPH in the normal circumstances.
