"There" and "they're" are not interchangeable, for Pete's sake.

I just wanted to see who was watching. Congrats.

cuf,

<< I travelled on the Shinkansen (Bullet Train) on numerous occasions >>

Plain Ole Train Talk:

World Speed Records (Trains)

Fastest maglev train (manned)
552km/h (345mph) Japan, MLX01 maglev train, 14 April 1999.

Fastest conventional train:
515.3km/h (322mph) France, TGV-A set 325, 18 May 1990.

Fastest closing speed between two trains (maglev)
1,003km/h (627mph) Japan, MLX01 sets 1 + 2, 16 November 1999

Fastest closing speed between two trains (conventional)
777.7km/h (486mph) France, TGV-A sets 308 + 325, 1990

I'm going to personally take up a collection to buy a ticket for my buddy Cha2 so he can test 1x streaming video on the MLX01, but first I have to take up a collection to buy him a mobile phone.

Merlin got one yet?
