Preformed by a German known as "the trainrider". Before he died from leukemia, he enjoyed the last year of his life by surfing on trains. Included Germany's fastest Highspeed train ICE with a top speed of 330 km/h(!) No one did that before. Never to be forgotten R.I.P.

whoa shit!
Determination of the fastest railed vehicle in the world varies depending on the criteria, because of the variety of designs. The French TGV is the fastest conventional train in the world, using powered metal wheels riding on metal rails. In 1990 it reached speeds of 515.3 km/h (320.3 mph) under test conditions with a shortened train (two power cars and three passenger cars). The test track and train were specially prepared but remain in revenue service today. However, the Japanese JR-Maglev has achieved 581 km/h (361 mph), and unmanned rocket sleds that ride on rails have reached over 10,400 km/h (6,462 mph), equivalent to Mach 8.5.
in commercial cond. it only goes 320...

TGVs travel at up to 320 km/h (200 mph) in commercial use (over 500 km/h (310 mph) on test runs), which is made possible through the use of specially designed LGVs (lignes ŕ grande vitesse, high-speed lines) without sharp curves, and a range of features that make TGVs suitable for high speed travel. These features include high-powered electric motors, low axle weight, articulated carriages and in-cab signalling, which removes the need for drivers to see lineside signals at high speed.
