From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prototype Russian high-speed train
Sokol (Сокол,
Russian for "
falcon ") was a planned
high-speed train in Russia.
[1] It was to be a successor of the
ER200 for use on the
Moscow–St. Petersburg mainline , and was designed to operate at a cruising speed of 250 km/h. A prototype was built in 2000 and tested by Russian High Speed Railway Shareholding Co.
[2]
The Sokol project was cancelled in 2002.
[3] Instead of a Sokol-based design, high speed trainsets (named
Sapsan ) based on the
Siemens Velaro were procured from
Siemens in Germany.
[4] The Sapsan trains have been operating on the Moscow–St. Petersburg line since December 2009.
