There few trains that regularly approach 200mph, and when they do it's only for short periods of time. And in case you weren't paying attention, China's much ballyhooed HSR project is a scandalous tragedy with massive fraud and poor technology. In the "civilized" countries, HSR is subsidized at great cost, allowing the wealthy speed and comfort paid for by the humble masses. Whenever I travel in Europe, I thank the European taxpayers with a much lower standard of living than I who subsidized my ticket.
