    Chinese high speed train network operates at 120–240 mph, and their maglev (very short, very expensive, very fast train route from Shanghai airport to the city centre) had the record at 268 mph. Plus, railroad may be slightly shorter due to how it is designed if the road isn’t near straight already.

    But yes, 3000 miles is a lot and maybe 12 hours will not be achievable for a long time yet
