World’s Fastest Train Debuts in China

When a country is growing insanely fast, you need a transportation system that can keep up. After four years of development and $15 billion, China has debuted the Wuhan-Guangzhou railway, which tops out at 235 mph (380 km/h) and apparently the ride is as smooth as a baby’s bottom. It’s also the longest rail line in China, traveling from Wuhan all the way down the south coast. The railway won’t officially open until later this month, but airlines have already begun slashing their fares to compete with the railway.
