Compared to what? Around 200 km/h was the top speed of the old ones in the 1930ties.

No way, the maximum was around 100 kmh for most of them.

Source? They usually had a cruising speed around 125km/h.

Honestly, 125km/h sounds like plenty. This monsters can travel in a straight line, so combined with good rail networks they should be more than enough for common travelling
