The Bullet train. The Amtrak Acela train running from New York City to Boston, MA is the fastest train in the US, running at a regularly scheduled speed of 150 miles per hour.

Do trains have speed limits?
Yes they have to follow a certain speed limit while they are going through a town,city,or even a suburb. * Added - In the US, for every train line and for every train there are speed limits both imposed by regulation and by railroad rules. By Federal regulation, trains are limited to certain speeds based upon the condition of the track and how often it is inspected. In addition, depending upon the type of train and the particular locomotives and cars in the train, Federal regulations and railroad rules impose speed limits. The most restrictive speed limit, meaning the slowest, that applies to the train is the speed limit the train must obey. Additional speed limits that reduce the speed further may be imposed temporarily or permanently for many reasons.

How long does it take to get from London to France on a boat?
Depends on what sort of boat you have. For those of us with no boat of our own, it takes about an hour from London to Dover by high speed train, another hour to get to the port, and an hour and a quarter to cross the Channel. That's if you can manage to find a boat leaving an hour after the train arrives. Realistically, allow 4 hours.
