Train (Le Train ŕ Grande
Vitesse) This high-speed electric train runs in France. The orange, gray, and white train runs between Paris and Lyon at an average speed of 122 mph. Since the original route began in 1981, other routes have been added, each with a unique paint scheme. Amtrak's new
Acela that is serving Amtrak's Northeast Corridor between Washington and Boston uses some of the TGV's technology.
