Fuxing Hao CR400AF/BF

China wins again , also serving as home to the world’s fastest non- maglev train currently in service. The name “ Fuxing Hao ” translates to mean “ rejuvenation ,” and each of the two trains have been branded with nicknames: CR400AF is “Dolphin Blue,” and the CR400BF is " Golden Phoenix .” The “CR” stands for China Railway . Both take just under five hours to zip up to 556 passengers each between Beijing South and Shanghai Hongqiao Station , easily halving the nearly 10-hour time it takes to ride the conventional, parallel rail line between these two megalopolises. The “Rejuvenation” also beats China’s next fastest train, the “Harmony” CRH380A ; it has dazzled since 2010, with speeds of up to 236 mph on routes connecting Shanghai with Nanjing and Hangzhou, and Wuhan with Guangzhou.
