Here's the deal: You have to appreciate the speed from the shot taken from the bridge. You thought the train from Paris to Avion was fast at 300 km/h but this is something else. I wonder how far back it has to begin slowing down for the station. Imagine going through a station at full speed! This is a high speed train built by the Alstom rail group in Belfort , France . They share manufacturing facilities with the GE Energy Products Europe (EPE) Gas Turbine group. The video was provided by the GE EPE Chief Engineer in Belfort. The train hit 574.8 Km/h which works out to 357.2 MPH or Mach 0.482 - wow! In particular, watch the train going under a bridge with people watching. This is FAST!! And it is powered by electricity and controlled with Apple iMacs. Now, watch the attachment.

You need to give a link to the video. Video formats are not allowed as attachments.

Actually, while we are at it, even photos are not really allowed as attachments. I mean they are per the software, but the "recreational" type photo is prohibited by our forum policies (is that stated anywhere, Jay? LOL), and should always be linked to external photo sharing sites.
On the other hand, screen shots and technical captures of various kinds that are needed for technical purposes in receiving help on any issue should [i]always[i] be attached so that they remain with the thread for future viewing.

Not stated unless in the forum rules and I don't remember it being there.

Here we go >>>>>>>>>>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pwMQTNVsK8An email was sent to me by a friend telling me about this train. The attachment he sent was in a WMA format. Anyways, that makes sense Jay as I couldn't figure out how to attach that to my post. This thing is pretty amazing, hope you all enjoy watching. Rich
