The World’s Railways

Of course, the convenience brought by this mode of transportation is very significant. They are considered safer, comfortable to ride, and most especially fast. In case one isn’t aware, the Shanghai Maglev is the fastest train with a maximum speed of 267.8 mph (430 km/h). The longest train ride that one can experience is from the Trans–Siberian Railway which can deliver passengers from Moscow to the far East part of Russia, that is 9,259 kilometers train ride.

Trains have now improved so much. For some time they were powered by coal, but now it is either through other fuels or electricity. People also find using trains as rather comforting and more convenient than other land transportation modes, especially in Japan, Singapore and South Korea.
