A Chinese commercial train has hit a record speed of 486 kilometers per hour during the test run before opening the new railway line connecting Beijing and Shanghai, Chinese media reported.

This was the fastest recorder speed of unmodified conventional passenger train, though other train types in some countries have reached even fastest speeds, Associated Press informed.

Chinese state television footage showed sleek white train whipping past green farm fields in eastern China. It reached the top speed on a segment of the 1,318-kilometer-long line between Zaozhuang city in Shandong province and Bengbu city in Anhui province, Chinese agency Xinhua said
