They haven’t quite figured that one out yet in Europe, where the high-speed trains run at 196 mph. But that’s not saying they won’t.

Because in Europe they don’t share the rails with Freight, like we do here.

Here’s something many don’t know about high speed rail. The trains have to slow down or do a quick stop way before they need to way before the station. That’s to clean the dead birds from all over the front of the train.
