List of high-speed trains
A high-speed train is generally defined as one which operates at speeds of over or at 125 mph (200 km/h), with a high level of service, and generally comprising multi-powered elements. Excluded from this list are standard locomotive-hauled trains often able to reach 200 km/h (such as the French Le Capitole and Corail, European IC trains or Amtrak's Northeast Regional), unconventional trains (such as maglev and Transrapid) and prototypes.
The following is a list of high-speed trains.
In these tables, two or three maximum speeds are given: the column "Operated" refers to the maximum speed reached by the train in commercial operations, while the column "Design" refers to the theoretical maximum speed in commercial operations as announced by the manufacturer. Finally, a third "Record" speed may also be listed. For trains listed as being or having been in service, the record is set by an unmodified train.
