It depends what country you are in. France has the fastest normal running service in the world at the moment at 300km/h (180mph) and this extends to the UK's St Pancreas International and other neighbours to France. The UK has trains that run at 200km/h on the main lines but it is possible to travel at 250km/h and the U.S is fairly undeveloped for train technology, the fastest trains run at 150km/h most of the time.
Trains can travel as fast as 150 miles per hour on average. Most passenger trains travel at a rate of speed of 90 miles per hour.

25 mph
310mph, 500kph
TGV, Ave Train, TGV LYRIA, and Eurocity are some of the fast trains. You can get more information about it from a travel agent or from a reliable online source.

One of the negatives about trains is the fact that they do not travel that fast when comparing them to airliners. Also, it is not cost effective anymore compared to cars and planes.
I would go by train. The trains in Europe are fast, efficient and on time.
Cars are better then trains because they can travel faster, and are more comfortable to travel in. NO trains are better they can go twice as fast as cars. first class or any class is better than car seating this is why: meals on board.toilets.meals.internet wifis.plugs for phones and laptop. can u get that in a car?
The best electric train currently is the Bullet Train in Japan. These can travel at speeds over 200mph. The Chinese are also building fast trains, and the Italians also have a history of building fast electric trains too.
A bullets trains goes fast because of the streamlines in the air.
