A high-speed train in eastern China set a new speed record during its trial service on Tuesday. The China-made CRH380A train hit a maximum speed of 416.6 kilometers per hour – a world train speed record – on its run between the metropolis of Shanghai and Hangzhou, capital city of east China's Zhejiang Province. The train is designed to run at a speed of 350 kilometers per hour on the 202-kilometer-long railway between the two cities. China sets its first world speed record on June 24, 2008. Then, the Beijing-Tianjin CRH3 high-speed train hit a top speed of 394.3 kilometers an hour. China's rapid development of high-speed railway technology at a reasonable cost is drawing world attention.
