Switching tracks at 320 kmph smoothly is incredibly impressive, especially considering most of us can't even change lanes on the highway without a minor existential crisis.
What actually happened
India’s Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train corridor is adopting canted turnouts, a specialised track system designed to allow high-speed trains to switch tracks smoothly at speeds of up to 320 kmph. The technology extends track banking through the turnout to reduce lateral forces, vibrations, discomfort.
