Amtrakâs Acela Express is currently the fastest train in the US, capable of a maximum speed of 150 mph (241 km/h) â although it typically travels at about half that speed. Depending on whose definition you go by, that may or may not qualify it as a high-speed train. Source: State of California (PDF) via Inhabitat.
Maglev trains float on a cushion of air, eliminating friction. This lack of friction and the trains' aerodynamic designs allow these trains to reach unprecedented ground transportation speeds of more than 310 mph (500 kph), or twice as fast as Amtrak's fastest commuter train.
