      @jimtaylor294 2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      It still stands partially due to being on the upper limit of what overhead wires can take.
      (much faster and they would start to boune around, damaging themselves and the pantograph; this's one reason the train was shorter than in regular service, and lowered one of its pantographs)
      A train running off internal batteries for the run or a different power source (like gas turbines) could go faster, but has yet to be attempted.

      @@jimtaylor294 Just a minor correction to an otherwise great comment: You're right about the overhead wires bouncing were they to go much faster, however, TGV sets actually normally run with the front pantograph lowered when on the LGV, nothing unusual about that. (they have HV lines going through the length of the train to make sure both power cars still get full power) I'm pretty sure the shortened length of the train was mostly for power to weight concerns, since they wouldn't need to lug around 8 heavy duplex cars for such a speed test.
      As an aside, this particular set was actually demoing the powered bogies for the AGV, which means unlike a normal TGV, this set had drive on all of its axles!

Wikipedia says the maximum hp of the train that made the record had 26,300hp so my calculations is a bit off but anyways. & Consumed 19.6mw instead of 24mw which i had calculated by watching this video. 😀

    The point that the crew was making is that while the train is customized - this is not a specialized track - it's a regular track, used daily for regular service. (As I myself pointed out, it's in TSW 2 - as is.) While you can't open it it up THAT far, the portion they used is part of your course in "High Speed Rain" - which is why I want that livery option. And considering that - other than it being Duplex - Liberty is the same train, it becomes why NOT Liberty Duplex?

      High speed trains are very safe when on high speed lines, their design prevents wagons from coming loose and going all over the place, the only fatal accident is due to a driver who took his children away on a test and which crossed a curve on an ordinary track at an excessively high speed, the train fell off the bridge.
