Well, High speed trains don't run 300 km/h. At least not in Europe. Most of the time they run slightly above 100 km/h. Source? Experience.

We would need a European infrastructure project for:

* major new transnational lines

* separation from passenger and cargo lines

* self coupling/decoupling wagons

And when you are on it, build some Thorium reactors to power them.
