It is a pretty limited achievement as-is: ignoring maglevs, a tgv test train reached 575 kph back in 2007, and China had test trains reaching 487 in 2011.

China’s next-gen is being deployed with goals of a 400kph service speed.

Also a German ICE test train was clocked at over 400 km/h back in 1988

If I understand it correct, this was also a 10 year old train.
