What is the maximum axle load allowed on LGV Est?

The FASTEST PASSENGER TRAIN IN THE WORLD is the AGV, absolute record at 574,8 km/h. You can look at it, just in the video.
If you can't see the video correctly, I suggest you to go to the doctor !

Maglev costs too much to be developed in the world. Furthermore it is NOT a calssical train.
AGV is a fantastic train, France has always been a most advanced country for trains, not only only for vehicles and planes

Benoit91220 thank you for your answeres my friend...

Concerning the third answer,you mean that for totally they've gone for more than 5000km with 500km/h,but continiously??

I mean that if there where enough distance to go with that speed,is this train able to keep 500+km/h for more than 500km distance continiously??
benoit91220 (December 1, 2008 at 6:10 pm)
500kmh on 200km max but during one month many times during the day...
the train is culpable ,the opperator decide what he wants but this is very costly to use at these speeds

Ι didn't meant that my friend,let me ask you again please...

For example if we had a track of more than 1.500km distance could the tgv v150 go continiously with over 500km/h??Could the engines stand that load (500km/h++)for many hours??

If not,which would be the problem?

ICE 3 have actualy many problems of security with his wheels! what a good quality for a modern train! and DB think to buy AGv like Eurostar and the USA...ICE WHAT A JOKE
benoit91220 (November 29, 2008 at 9:25 am)
ICE is a copy of tgv!ICE can't run at this speed!
TVg kicks ass of the ICE immagine what will do AGV!

1-like everyday fast train all the engine of the tgv v150 train worked!

2-tgv(agv) will run between 360-380kmph in the next 10years but for 600kmph i think is is not possible for everyday use because of the cost and safety problem to have many train on the same line at that speed,the noise etc..

3-tgv engine can run during 500km at 500kmph during this test theay have made more than 5000km a more than 500..
