  High-speed rail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
High-speed rail is public transport by rail at speeds in excess of 200 km/h (124 mph).
Railways were the first form of mass transportation, and until the development of the motorcar in the early 20th century had an effective monopoly on land transport.
By building a new rail infrastructure with 20th century engineering, including elimination of constrictions such as roadway at-grade (level) crossings, frequent stops, a succession of curves and reverse curves, and not sharing the right-of-way with freight or slower passenger trains, higher speeds (250–300 km/h) are maintained.

Power is commonly supplied by means of a single live third rail (as in New York) at 600 to 750 volts, but some systems use two live rails (notably London) and thus eliminate the return current from the running rails.
