SAPSAN

"Sapsan" is Russian for the peregrine falcon, the fastest bird in the falcon family, so it was an appropriate name for this new train, which can reach speeds of up to 250 km/ph. Produced with true German precision by Siemens, the Sapsan is fully adapted to the harsh climate of Russia.
Number of passenger seats on the Sapsan - 506.
