For two differences the trains in France are shaped like bullet trains(a curved head) Also trains in France have there own rails that go much faster than our trains.They go faster due to the trash energy that powers some of they engine so its also much cleaner for the environment.
For the similarities they both have their own set of rails to travel on and don't have to share with the rest of the people driving.They also have their own train stations and they don't just stop on parts of the rails ans\d people get on like buses or cars.
Hope this helped!!
