The Cité du Train-Patrimoine SNCF is a good example of how trains have evolved over the last 200 years. Steam, then electricity and Diesel have revolutionised the transport of people and goods. The credo is to travel further and faster. The development of Diesel traction rapidly increased the speed of trains. A speed of 97 mph (156 km/h) was reached in 1935. In 2007, the TGV became the fastest train in the world with 356 mph (574 km/h). Tomorrow, it may be the Hyperloop, a project for an aerial or underground tube in which passenger capsules would travel at the speed of sound.
