Yes, the Maglev train in Japan just hit the world record for land speed in a train of 374 miles per hour. How impressive is that?
200 mile trips that would typically take 4-5 hours can now take less than 1 hour. It's all thanks to the magnetic motion design allowing the train to hover above the rails. Giving the train absolutely no friction between the ground and the train.
In the mean time, the USA has been contemplating a fast train for decades. So far, no real progress has been made. Amtrak Acela Express is the fastest train traveling up to 150mph.
