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.

Todayâs bullet trains can top 300 mph. When Englishman Richard Trevithick launched the first practical steam locomotive in 1804, it averaged less than 10 mph. Today, several high-speed rail lines are regularly travelling 30 times as fast. When Japanâs first Shinkansen or âbullet trains,â opened to coincide with the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, they were capable of running at speeds in excess of 130 mph.
