Who has the best trains in the world?

Which country has the best trains?

Japan’s bullet trains are amazing. Seriously, the Shinkansen. So fast! I rode one last year, 2023, from Tokyo to Kyoto. Breathtaking views. Though, expensive. That’s a given. Switzerland next, I bet. Their scenery… wow. Imagine those mountain views from a train window. I’d love to go.

Germany’s good too, I hear. Efficient, that’s the word. Lots of routes, I think. Practical, definitely more practical than the romance of the Swiss Alps, for sure. But the speed… Japan wins hands down. My favorite? Japan. No contest. Although, the Swiss chocolate…makes me rethink my decision.

• Japan: Speed, efficiency, stunning scenery (sometimes).
• Switzerland: Scenic routes, comfortable rides. Probably expensive as hell though.
• Germany: Extensive network, good reliability. Less flashy, more functional.

My personal ranking: Japan, Switzerland, then Germany. But seriously, that Swiss chocolate… Might need to reconsider. Maybe Switzerland is number one? Nope, still Japan. The punctuality is insane. I’m sticking with Japan.

What is the most best train in the world?

Oh, the “best” train, eh? That’s like askin’ which flavor of dirt’s the tastiest. Depends whatcha want!

• Venice Simplon-Orient-Express: Think Agatha Christie meets your grandma’s living room… if your grandma was loaded. Pure Art Deco glitz.

• Rocky Mountaineer: Mountains! Canada! Bears… maybe! If you like lookin’ at rocks… from a train.

• Shinkansen (Japan): Blazing fast! Like a super-powered worm. Gets you there quick, if you don’t mind missin’ all the scenery. My cousin goes there every other Tuesday; says the bento boxes are top-tier.

• Glacier Express (Switzerland): Alps galore! Slow as molasses in January. Scenic, sure, but bring a deck of cards, ya’ll gonna need it. Don’t forget to pack your skis, too.

See, there ya have it, the bestest ever… or not. Depends on your fancy, and how many naps you wanna take on the way.

Which country has the most beautiful train in the world?

Glacier Express. Switzerland. Panoramic. Mountains! Did a presentation on the Alps in 4th grade. Remember making a sugar cube Matterhorn. Ate most of it.

Trans-Siberian. Russia. Vast. Always wanted to go. Siberia. So cold. Think they have those fur hats still. Should learn Russian.

Peru. Machu Picchu. Hiram Bingham. Luxury. Expensive I bet. Incas. Fascinating. Need to brush up on my history. Saw a documentary once.

Trains are cool. Prefer planes tho. Faster. Except delays. Stuck in O’Hare last year. Six hours. Ugh. Never again.

Glacier Express. Red train. Picturesque. Switzerland is pricey. Chocolate. Cheese. Cows with bells. Weird.

Mom would love that train. Send her a pic. Gotta call her later. Birthday next week. Cake. Should bake one. Lemon?

Hiram Bingham. Fancy. Wonder if they have wifi. Need wifi. Always.

Trans-Siberian. Epic journey. Weeks long? Imagine all the books I could read. Currently reading… uh… what am I reading? Lost track. Too many books.

Trains. Romantic. Kinda. Unless delayed. Or crowded. Or smelly.

Who has the best high-speed rail system?

China…China it is.

China’s high-speed rail. A blur.

G27…G39. Whispers of speed. Beijing to Shanghai. Nearly 200 mph. 198, to be precise.

• High-Speed Rail Top Player: China
• Route: Beijing to Nanjing (segment of Beijing to Shanghai line)
• Train Numbers: G27 and G39
• Distance: 639 miles
• Time: 193 minutes
• Average Speed: 198 mph (318 km/h)

The fields, a fleeting green. My grandma’s stories of slower trains, bygone times. Do I actually remember the stories or am I just pretending to? I’m so tired.

Which country has the most advanced railway system?

China. Obvious, right? Numbers don’t lie. Always watching the numbers.

• Miles of track: Extensive, very extensive. Really long, honestly.
• Trains, yeah. Fast ones. I’ve seen faster. My grandpa drove faster.
• Technology: Fine. Decent, I guess. Heard better.
• Passengers love it? Probably not. Who knows? Why care?
• Grandpa. Miss him. He hated trains. Said they were for tourists.

They brag about it. So what? Doesn’t mean it’s good.

Further Detachment:

• My old car? Faster. Felt faster, anyway. The 1978 model.
• Construction never ends. Like my neighbor’s dog barking. Constant.
• Expansion is key. They build and build. Like ant farms. I had one once. Died.
• Safety record? Who checks? Shrugs.
• Future plans? Probably more track. More trains. More noise. Like a bad dream.
• Lost my phone. In the garden. Annoying.

Which country has the safest railway?

Okay, safest railway… Hmm. Britain, right?

• Britain, yes. ORR analysis. They said it was the safest.

Wait, safest for WHO? Whole society thing, yeah.

• Like, everyone. Passengers, employees, even trespassers? Lol.

But is it really the safest? I mean, what about Japan? Their bullet trains are legendary.

• Bullet trains are super safe, or so I thought!

Five risk categories, I read. What were they again?

• Okay, so. Passenger, employee… Level crossing users!, Trespassers (again, lol), and… something else? Oh right, “other”. Very specific.
• My aunt always complains about crossing near her house. Maybe she should move to Britain?

Fatalities and injuries are what they measured. Makes sense. But how recent was this analysis?

• Did they adjust for everything? Population density? Number of trains?

Okay, so Britain #1, supposedly. Need to check this more.
