Well, if the U.S. is moving towards trains, the French are moving even faster.
Some 200 mph faster.
Last month, the French announced a new train that will go 200 mph.
Here's the BBC story.
While Americans are bashing the French, the French just keep building faster trains, essential in the fight for productivity, gaining and keeping knowledge workers. Yeah France. Yeah trains.
