250 km/h into the end station? And then a full stop upon touching the buffer at the end of the track?
Lets see; 250 km/h equals 69,4 m/s. Lets assume the front coupling will compress 0,3 meters against the buffer, resulting in a deceleration to zero in 0,00432 seconds.
So: 69,4 / 9,8ms2 * (1/0,00432) = 1640,3 G.
That's not very comfortable
It’s time keeping in lab conditions with no passengers and and no driver and supposing that the buffer will be able to stop the train hitting it at 69.4 m/s.
I'm fine with HSM on the railways, but it's a bit harder to measure since most railways end in a loop You could measure how long it takes to do a loop loop from Delftblaak to Simvliet Buiten and back to Delfsblaak at 250km/u

I timed Towards Simvilet Bergpark :
6'49"33 If the HSM starts from this station
6'02"93 the loop at constant speed to 250 km/u.
If you want, fill the "Railway Networks" table → http://sim.bemined.nl/wiki/HSM
The times are measured like this:
You start the stopwatch when the train starts moving, and then you stop it the moment the train passes (with 250 km/h) the furthest point of the last station.
