Fun fact: the train pictured here is a Siemens Velaro. That’s the same family of train as the ICE.
It’s the American Pioneer Edition, the variant for the American market, set to operate Brightline West services, but even that one is based on Velaro Novo, a platform designed 100% in Germany.
200mph? Like those french trains in the nineties?
200mph is pretty good. That’s 320 kph. IIRC, China’s high speed rail has a max speed of 350kph, often cruising at 300kph.
Yeah, even the german ICEs can do that much. US mediocratism as usual.

Edit: Velaro Novo for comparison:
It can do that much for about 20 minutes before it hits a Stau.
Hey now, we were mediocre before but now have crossed well into toxic inferiority.
ICE making America Great Again!!!"
