Trains Around the World

A train is a connected series of vehicles that move along a track (permanent way) to transport freight or passengers from one place to another. The track usually consists of two rails, but might also be a monorail or maglev guideway.

Different countries have different train designs but they all function the same way… There are various types of train designed for particular purposes.

This is the CRH2 is one of the high-speed train models in China. The CRH2 is a modified E2-1000 Series Shinkansen design from Japan, and represents the second Shinkansen train model to be exported, the other being the 700T series for Taiwan High Speed Rail.

This is the Taiwan High Speed Rail (traditional Chinese: 台灣高速鐵路, abbreviated THSR) is a high-speed rail network that runs along the west coast of Taiwan. It is approximately 335.50 kilometers (208 mi) long, and runs from Taipei City to Kaohsiung City. THSR began operation on January 5, 2007.

This is the Korea Train eXpress (KTX) is South Korea’s high-speed rail system, which connects the capital Seoul to Busan and Mokpo. Operated by Korail, the train’s technology is largely based on the French TGV system, and has a top speed of 350 km/h, limited to 300 km/h during regular service for safety.

This is the Shinkansen (新幹線^?) is a network of high-speed railway lines in Japan operated by four Japan Railways Group companies. Starting with the 210 km/h (130 mph) Tōkaidō Shinkansen in 1964, the now 2,459 km (1,528 mi) long network has expanded to link most major cities on the islands of Honshū and Kyūshū at speeds up to 300 km/h (186 mph). Test runs have reached 443 km/h (275 mph) for conventional rail in 1996, and up to a world-record 581 km/h (361 mph) for maglev trainsets in 2003.

This is the Alta Velocidad Española (AVE) is a service of high speed trains operating at speeds of up to 300 km/h (186 mph) on dedicated track in Spain. The name is literally translated from Spanish as “Spanish High Speed”, but also a play on the word ave, meaning “bird”.

This is Eurostar is a high-speed railway passenger service in Western Europe connecting London with Paris and Brussels. All its trains cross under the English Channel via the Channel Tunnel, owned and operated separately by Eurotunnel.

This is the TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse, French for “high-speed train”) is France’s high-speed rail service, currently operated by VFE, the long-distance rail branch of SNCF, the French national rail operator.

This is the Dubai Metro is a driverless, fully automated metro network which is under construction in the United Arab Emirates city of Dubai. The Red and Green Lines are under construction, and further lines are planned. These first two lines will run underground in the city centre and on elevated viaducts elsewhere.

Now we have seen many different trains around the world which each has their own design and speciality. Well look carefully at the next one because it has the most unique design!

The India’s ALL ONBOARD train^^ apparently this train do exist in India which everyone just jump on board and goes down when every they like…
