This is a high speed train built by the Alstom rail group in Belfort, France ; they share manufacturing facilities with the GE Energy Products Europe (EPE) Gas Turbine group.

What is that speed measured in?

That's a hair shy of 360MPH! Note, however, how straight and flat the track was - can't imagine a trackway like that between say London and Edinburgh, even if there was the money to build it and enough time to get planning etc before the end of the century!!
