It can move at more than 300 kilometers per hour. Many countries have these trains, like Japan, France, China, and Taiwan. People use them to <strong>travel<\/strong> between big cities in a short time.<\/p>\n<p>The trains look long and smooth. The front of the train has a pointed nose. This shape helps the train cut through the air. Inside, the seats are soft and the windows are big. <strong>Passengers<\/strong> can see the view as they ride.<\/p>\n<p>The high speed rail is also very safe. The trains run on special tracks. Workers check the tracks every day. The train has computers that help the driver. This <strong>modern<\/strong> technology stops accidents and keeps people safe on every trip.<\/p>\n<p>Many people choose the high speed rail instead of the plane. The train <strong>station<\/strong> is often in the city center. You do not need to wait a long time before you go. You can also bring more bags than on a plane. The seats give you more space too.<\/p>\n<p>The high speed rail is good for the planet. It uses electric power, so it does not make a lot of dirty air. More people can ride one train, so fewer cars are on the road. In the future, more cities will build a high speed rail to help people <strong>commute<\/strong> faster and cleaner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>A.
