This is not an invention, but an evolution. The term "high speed" is relative, as this has changed over time and with advancing technology. In the 1700's, Cugnot learned that the high speed of 3 miles per hour was uncontrollable - by 1925, 130 mph was a high speed train. The highest speed conventional train in the world will soon be tested in China, as of late 2012.

Why is a train called a 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

Blank and high speed trains use electromagnets to operate?

Both maglev (magnetic levitation) trains and high-speed trains utilize electromagnets, but in different ways. Maglev trains are lifted and propelled by powerful electromagnets, allowing them to float above the tracks and achieve speeds exceeding traditional trains. High-speed trains, on the other hand, typically rely on conventional tracks and use electromagnets for braking and traction, enhancing their speed and efficiency while maintaining contact with the rails.
