| France's SNCF is famous for
its Train á Grande Vitesse, better known as the
TGV. These trainsets set new records for speed and luxury
- a modified TGV Atlantique set a record of about 323
miles per hour. The Thalys is the latest version of the
TGV, and is being tested in other European countries. Eurostar connects France with England via the Chunnel - the tunnel under the English Channel. When running in England, Eurostar switches to third-rail pickup. |
