China Debuts the World's Fastest Train
An anonymous reader writes "China unveiled their new high speed train that clocks in at an average of 217 mph. China's new rail service travels through 20 cities along its route, connecting central China and less developed regions to the larger and more industrial Pearl River Delhi. Seimens, Bombardier and Alstom worked together to design and build this feat of modern transportation, which topped out at a whopping 245mph (394km/h) during trial runs earlier in December."
No no, they mean the Pearl River Deli. It's on the East Side, and their pastrami on rye is to die for. I don't know how they got a train to go there all the way from China, but it sounds like I'm going to have to start getting my lunch earlier to beat the rush!
It's China, they just throw the people off the train as they pass their station.
