We learn something new every day. This is a community dedicated to informing each other and helping to spread knowledge.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rule 1- All posts must begin with TIL. Linking to a source of info is optional, but highly recommended as it helps to spark discussion.
** Posts must be about an actual fact that you have learned, but it doesn't matter if you learned it today. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.**
Rule 2- Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your post subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-TIL posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-TIL posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

The title is written weirdly, I’ll reword it longer.
Uzbekistan has several hundred miles of high speed rail, the US has less than a hundred. Even with the new projects being built in the US that will more than quintuple the amount of high speed rail, the US will still have less than Uzbekistan. The US lines are very different speeds, 125, 150, (200), (220), while the Uzbekistan lines are the same speeds 160, (160). The lines in parentheses aren’t built yet.
They call 125 "high speed"?
It's in mph. 240 kph. Article says: "this article lists all the systems and lines that support speeds over 200 km/h (120 mph) regardless of their statuses of upgraded or newly built."
OP had a stroke while watching arab fast & furious
rail network bigger than US
THANK YOU
for that big grin on my face
What
I don't believe that the US has any real high-speed rail.
Yes, Technically a few miles of Acela track are high enough speed to cross the threshold to “high speed”. It’s actually amazing that you really can’t tell any difference on that section of track. The old train sets can hit 155 mph on that section, but I thought the newer ones with more tilt can do 165
That being said, I thought it was 35 miles
According to wiki the USA has a higher population density and less distance of HS rail. Kinda blows out the “we’re too spread out thing”.
Trains are too woke /s
