The TGV trains ain't your normal choo choo.
The TGV holds the world speed record for conventional trains. On 3 April 2007 a modified TGV POS train reached 574.8 km/h (357.2 mph) under test conditions on the LGV Est between Paris and Strasbourg.

The AFP news agency is quoting sources as saying the derailment happened due to "excessive speed".source
