Need for speed: The world's fastest trains

In this age of thrift — with its emphasis on efficiency with low cost — business travellers are rediscovering the convenience (and the romance) of taking the train. This is not just a fallout of the recent global economic crisis. Business travellers in Europe and Japan have for years enjoyed the benefits of a dense network of high-speed rail lines. Now the US is making big investments in this area. It has set aside USD 8 billion to create 13 high-speed rail corridors.
