	High-speed rail information - Search.com
		High-speed rail is public transport by rail at speeds in excess of 200 km/h (124 mph).
		The recognition of the interrelationship between land development and the high-speed rail network led, in 1970, to the enactment in Japan of a law for the construction of a nationwide Shinkansen railway network.
		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.

		Locomotives are assigned classes from 01 to 98, with diesel locomotives assigned classes 01 to 69, DC electric locomotives between 70 and 79, AC electric locomotives 80-96, departmental locos (those not in revenue-earning use) 97, and steam locomotives 98.

		Class 447 was the designation given to the Electric multiple unit trains that would have run the shuttle services (branded the Battersea Bullet) between London Victoria and the entertainment complex planned for the site of the former Battersea Power Station.
		Three units were planned, each of four cars, and since the trains would have been privately owned by the operator of the entertainment complex, British Rail allocated carriage numbers 99470-99481 (from the private owner carriage series) for the individual vehicles.
		The entertainment complex was never built, nor were the trains, and the former power station still stands as an empty shell.
