Speed limit rockets to 350 km/h

Fuxing trains shoot like a bullet from Beijing to Shanghai in 4:28

The speed on the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway was increased to 350 kilometers per hour on Thursday, making it again among the world's fastest train services after the operational limit was reduced six years ago.

Fourteen of the bullet trains, dubbed Fuxing (or Rejuvenation), now run at 350 km/h on the 1,318-km rail line linking China's two biggest cities, according to China Railway Corp, which operates the service. Other trains on the line remain at 300 km/h.
