Japan begins testing the world's fastest bullet train (VIDEO)

Japan is preparing to add a new one to the bullet trains. Alpha-X test drives started to be used in 2030. The train has a special design nose and can reach 400 kilometers per hour. Alfa-X will be the world's fastest 'bullet train' when it starts working.

Japanese railway company starts testing 249mph bullet train speeds

Alfa-X slated for service in 2030, leaving room for another high-speed rail to catch up.

This week, Japanese railway company JR East showed off its new Alfa-X, a high-speed bullet train that is designed to achieve a top speed of 400kph, or 249mph, which would make it the fastest commercial train in the world. In day-to-day operations, the train would shuttle passengers at 360kph, or roughly 224mph.

On Friday, JR East will begin testing the Alfa-X, without passengers, on its railways. According to Bloomberg, the 10-car train will make the trip "between the cities of Aomori and Sendai at night" for the next three years during a testing phase. JR East hopes to use the Alfa-X commercially by 2030. Japan News says the line will eventually be extended to Sapporo.

That long lead time suggests that there might be an opening for another high-speed bullet train option to overtake the Alfa-X Shinkansen train in speed for commercial railway service.

Virgin Hyperloop One, arguably the best-funded Hyperloop startup, may be the closest: it has a test track outside of Las Vegas where it has been able to log a speed of 240mph (386kph) in less than a quarter-mile (300 meters).
