It's all good until the idiot lorry driver stalls his rig on a crossing.

I'm really surprised they can attain that speed with iron wheels on an iron track powered by overhead wire.

357 mph for those wondering but we can't do that here. It's SOCIALISM!

Fast trains are needed in France. They expedite the retreat.

Pisses me off that they changed the original plan which had the southern terminus of the high-speed rail line in San Diego.

The Grateful Dead had a song about just such an event but the best Ol' 99 could do was 102...

Nothing new, that was a TGV prototype test in 2007 which set a new record and no attempt to break it... yet.

Drivin' that train
High on cocaine
Casey Jones you better watch your speed
Trouble ahead
Trouble behind
And you know that notion just crossed my mind

Alright, I remember the lyrics but what the heck was the title?
