There have been significant advances recently in the uniting of Europe through the use of an integrated high speed rail system. This paper outlines the most recent occurrences in Europe, and gives an overall view of what is intended for the future high speed rail network. England, Germany, and France are the main subjects of this paper, although other countries are briefly reviewed. On September 16, 1987, the European Parliament adapted a resolution to develop a "European High Speed Network". Many countries are collaborating in an effort to make this network a reality. The tunnel between France and England under the English Channel is perhaps the most well known, however, France and Spain, Northern Europe and Italy are also joining forces to create a United Europe. The unification of Germany, and the break up of the Soviet Union have added many new challenges and opportunities for the high speed network in Europe. Some of these issues are addressed, as well as areas for future work.<>
