Q
Trains have long been an important form of transportation.Yet they have changed a lot since 1804，when the first train moved at 8km/hr.Today's high speed trains can go 300km/hr or faster.Besides their speed,they have many advantages over other transportation types.
Japan built the world's first high speed railway.In 1964，Japan's"Shinkann"trains started traveling between Osaka and Tokyo at 200km/hr.Over time,more lines,as well as faster trains,were built.
Korea,England,and the USA，now have their own high speed systems.Taiwan Province's started running in 2007.Its trains are bad on two types of Shinkann trains.They can carry 989people and travel from Taipei to Kaohsiung in less than two hours.
The systems are expensive to build,but they have many advantages.For example,they are good for the environment.Trains on the London to Paris line createthe pollution that planes create.High speed trains are also safer and cleaner than cars.
