South Korea plans new bullet train
South Korea plans to spend more than $100 million in the next six years developing high-speed bullet trains.
If the project remains on schedule, the trains -- given the name HEMU-400X -- would be in commercial use by 2020, the Korea Times reported. The new trains would be 30 mph faster than the HSR-350X, South Korea's current fast train, with a top speed of 400 kilometers per hour (about 250 mph). Officials said they believe the HEMU-400X can be developed more quickly and cheaply than the HSR-350X because South Korea has more high-tech expertise than it did in the late 1980s and 1990s. The HSR-350X is scheduled to be commercially available in 2009.
