A French train hit new speed records Tuesday near the eastern city of Strasbourg, zipping along the tracks at 574.8 kilometers (357.2 miles) per hour. The company hopes for more international customers.
The train is an experimental version of the Traine a Grande Vitesse (TGV), equipped with two supercharged locomotives and extra-large wheels. It easily beat the previous 515.3 kph record set by a TGV in 1990.
