   What is the fastest bullet train in the world?

   • These fields pull and push the train simultaneously, which once made Japan's maglev the fastest train in the world. While maglev trains are the fastest bullet trains, they are far from the majority of Shinkansen, most of which are closer to a conventional train in their design but run on tracks built with stronger materials.

   What is a bullet train?

   • The word means "new mainline," which is an accurate descriptor, as they connect major cities across the country's mountainous terrain. Earlier editions of the bullet trains use a traditional propulsion system, which put even the fastest trains in the United States to shame, easily reaching speeds over 186 mph.

   What is the fastest bullet train in Shinkansen?

   • While maglev trains are the fastest bullet trains, they are far from the majority of Shinkansen, most of which are closer to a conventional train in their design but run on tracks built with stronger materials. Powered by an overhead supply line, these trains still rocket along at 155 mph or more.

   How does a bullet train work?

   • The answer, once again, is magnets. A strong electrical current running through another set of superconductive magnets propels the bullet train with large amounts of electricity that create additional magnetic fields. These fields pull and push the train simultaneously, which once made Japan's maglev the fastest train in the world.
