I have ridden the TGV, and it is good, but I have also had experience riding the Shinkansen (bullet train) in Japan several times, and the ride is smoother and the train is even faster. However, China's new train, the Maglev, is way faster than the Sinkansen, but as I understand is still too expensive due to the magnetized suspension system...as noted by a previous comment. I have also ridden the other end of the spectrum, Amtrak. This is by far the slowest means of transportation available. In Japan, as well as in Europe, train schedules mean something. Here in the US, they don't. My train from north of Sacramento to Reno took over 7 hours. About 1/3 of that distance was just covered by a Kenyan in the olympics in 2 hours on foot. But, we need people to ride to generate the buzz, and funding, and we need the buzz to get pople to ride. I have no answers. The TGV is not the best option.

The TGV in France, that you experienced, the ICE in Germany and the AVE in Spain. They all have different technological backgrounds but all of them are very successful. In germany there is a big political discussion about the new "Transrapid" that has the trains floating over magnetic fields. But so far it is too expensive for real use, only testing routes are in existence now. In Europe there exist at least 3 working high-speed train systems.

I must confess I have never been on a train in the US, but have experienced the TGV in France and our Pendulum Trains in the UK and they are something to behold. I do think the double decker trains you have are cool, don't know why it's probably because we don't have them here. Keep the wagons rolling Jim The US was built on the railways, the new frontiers were developed around where the train went!
