Speed is nothing more than a change in over a specific time. If the train were to travel 50mi in one hour it would be 50mph, or 50mi in half hr would be 100mph.
speed = (change in distance)/(change in time)
a little algebra can go a long way.

Why is a bullet train called a bullet train?

'Bullet Train' is not the proper name for these trains.It is a named invented by the English language media for the Japanese 'Shinkansen' high speed trains when they were first introduced. The probably invented the name because they thought 'Shinkansen' was too complicated a word for their readers.Other countries have since built High Speed Lines and High Speed Trains, and the speeds have increased. For example TGV (France), ICE (Germany) etc.because of its high speed and its shape - the original bullet train in Japan had a bullet-shaped pointed nose iirc
