CRH380A
We beginnen het overzicht met de snelste treinen. De CRH380A raast door China. Hij ziet er niet alleen heel snel uit, met een maximumsnelheid van 379 km/u is hij het ook.
Siemens Velaro
Dit type hogesnelheidstrein wordt gebruikt in Duitsland, Spanje, China en Rusland. De maximale snelheid van de Velaro is 347 km/u.
Shinkansen
De Shinkansen in China stond een tijdlang bekend als de drukste hogesnelheidslijn ter wereld. Zijn maximale snelheid ligt op 320 km/u.
De snelste en mooiste treinen ter wereld
ICE 3
De Duitse spoorwegen hebben met de ICE's hun eigen hogesnelheidstrein. De maximum snelheid van de ICE 3 is 318 km/u.
TGV
Grote kans dat je weleens van de TGV hebt gehoord. Hij verbindt een groot gedeelte van Frankrijk met een maximum snelheid van 297 km/u.
Transsiberië Express
Bij andere treinen speelt snelheid geen rol. Ze zijn er niet minder spectaculair door. Zo is er de Transsiberië Express. Hij rijdt op het op drie na langste traject zonder onderbrekingen ter wereld.
Oriënt Express
Wie van luxe houdt, kon vanaf 1883 gebruikmaken van de Oriënt Express.
20th Century Limited
Dit werd de 'Bekendste trein ter wereld' genoemd destijds. Hij reed in de Verenigde Staten, voornamelijk in de eerste helft van de twintigste eeuw.
