High Speed Rail

On these pages here, I’m trying to compile a list of active high speed rail systems and also new systems/lines that are being studied/planned or are even under construction.

What is “High Speed Rail” anyway? Here is a definition, taken from the Wikipedia article about High Speed Rail:

High-speed rail is public transport by rail at speeds in excess of 200 km/h (125 mph). According to UIC, “high-speed train” is a train that runs at over 250 km/h on dedicated tracks, or over 200 km/h on upgraded conventional tracks.

If you have any additions/corrections, please let me know by leaving a comment below.
