    • Speed of a Maglev train: ~ 300 km/h on average, ~ 600 km/h in testing

    • East-West width of country:

      • US: 4500km
      • Russia: 9000km
      • Germany: 640km
    • Average Times:

      • US: 4500 km / 300 km / h = 15 hours
      • Russia: 9000 / 300 = 30 hours
      • Germany: 640 / 300 = 2.1 hours

    Max speed of 600 would be half those times, so a large European country could get it down to 1 hour, but I don’t know anyone who stays horny that long.

    If we give a max horniness window of 15 minutes, then we need trains to be 4x faster than their current max speed of 600, namely 2400 km/h, which is Mach 2. The sonic boom would be immense, but so would the size of her sploosh as you come just in time.

    Edit: Interestingly, the UK’s width of ~ 300 km, would allow for a horniness window of 30 minutes using current technology.
