Ääääh... What train reached 352,4 km/h? According to my knowledge it was the KTX, not the HSR-350x (of which I heard the first time today). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Der fast kopflose Nick (talk • contribs) 01:24, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Move to HSR-350x

Isn't that the official name?

Also, search results for "Korean G7" show

while search results for "HSR-350x" show

[edit] Reply to Kingj123

Requested by Kingj123, on his talk page, I wrote the reason why KRRI's claim as "Korea is the fourth nation in the world to develop high-speed trains independently" is dubious. I guess I can repeat the reasoning (as well as my mistakes) here for the benefit of other editors.

If "High-speed rail" means the railway runs above 200 km/h, then:

  • For Japan, France, and Germany, I don't think you disagree with me.
  • United Kingdom: InterCity 125, one of their High Speed Trains, debuted in 1975. Its maximum speed is 125 mph, or 200 km/h.
  • Italy: ETR 450 debuted in 1988. Its maximum speed is 250 km/h.
  • Spain: In 1966, Talgo III ran at 200 km/h. [1]
  • Sweden: X 2000 debuted in 1990. Its maximum speed 200 km/h.
  • Norway: This one was my mistake. Although BM71 debuted in 1998, it's made by ADtranz, German company.
  • Switzerland: This one is not correct either. ICN debuted in 2000 but it's a joint development between SBB-CFF-FFS, ADtranz and Alstom. Again, my mistake.
  • China: "zh:中華之星列車", or China Star, is developed independently by Chinese, unlike other Chinese high-speeds such as Shanghai Transrapid (from Germany) or 新时速 (from Sweden). It's still in an experimental stage, but so is Korean G-7. It recorded 321.5 km/h in 2003. [2]
  • And finally, South Korea developed Korean G-7. Its maximum speed 350 km/h was recorded in 2004.

So now, I have to say "there are 8 countries that have independently developed high-speed trains before 2004", rather than "10".

If "High-speed rail" means the railway runs above 300 km/h, then:

  • Again, for Japan, France, and Germany, I don't think you disagree with me.
  • Spain:Talgo 350 ran at 300 km/h in 1994. [3]
  • Italy: ETR 500 debuted in 1993. Its maximum speed is 300 km/h.
  • China: As I "proved" above, China Star recorded 321.5 km/h in 2003.
  • And Korean G-7 recorded 350 km/h was recorded in 2004.

I don't have a big probrem with the current article, although it still is incorrect for ignoring China. Kzaral 11:26, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

In the article, there is a section dedicated to explaining this controversial matter. At least, that's what I remember. (Wikimachine 21:44, 3 January 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:HSR.JPG

Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.
