Tilt Train in Australia  Contributor's Pick!       
Queensland Rail's electric-powered Tilt Train pulls away from Roma Street Station after completing its run from Rockhampton. The train set is on its way to the passenger yard for servicing. The road operates a pair of these Hitachi-built sets; their top speed is 100MPH (160KPH) and they make the daily 396 mile run to/from Rockhampton in about 7 1/2 hours.
