MUST READ --- in 1932 , UK was running 114 kmhr average speed train COMMERCIALLY using a steam engine !!! The train was used commercially for 28 years on a daily basis.
.
Its highest speed was 130 kmhr. Such a train can take you from Ahmedabad to Mumbai in just 4.5 hrs and kill the flight business !!!
