Actually the alps are pretty good at slowing down trains. Here in Switzerland the top speed is around 200 km/h (or 125 mph).
But yeah, the freedom is real. I'm going to Prague soon. Will probably watch a movie, read some manga, and then get a full nights sleep on the way, to arrive refreshed.
And the two tunnels through the Alps currently under construction (Lyon-Turin, Brenner Base Tunnel) are still only for 250km/h (150mph)
