    You can but the track has to be built for it. Japan has stations that are passed at 320km/h (200mph). You need minimum four tracks (two platforms, two passing) and curves/gradients suitable for the speed, along with noise mitigations as necessary.

    If you’re trying to re-use tracks and stations built in the 1800s that’s possibly less feasible.
