The TGV POS (Paris-Ostfrankreich-Suddeutschland), The TGV is one of the figureheads of fast European trains, and the POS is one of the newest and most visually stunning versions of this locomotive yet.

The TGV POS is a French TGV train currently under testing for use on the LGV Est european. 8 TGV R?seau single-deck carriage cars combine with power cars that provide over 12,900 horsepower under 25kV load. This train (though heavily modified for the actual test trial) has gathered a bit of fame most recently for breaking the land speed record for regular rail trains, hitting a top speed of over 357 miles per hour, making it the fastest train running on conventional rails in the world. Notable as the train that broke the land speed record for a conventional rail train in April of this year (2007) with a speed of 357.2 mph, this is a train that is not to be missed.
