100mph top speed, not the fastest, but always nice to see an improvement. The dual fuel also expands its use area, which in turn may encourage further track development, which could also lead to more electrification for a more efficient service.

Is Chile the best or worst country for high speed rail?

Really need one due to size and shape of the country, but one of the worst due to topography i would say:
