Diesel Locomotive can reach a top speed of 125 miles per hour, However this is based on the engine and the track it travels on.

Today's bullet trains can top 300 mph. When Englishman Richard Trevithick launched the first practical steam locomotive in 1804, it averaged less than 10 mph. Today, several high-speed rail lines are regularly travelling 30 times as fast.
