Journey times are the same for every train It's the "handling" time (the time they appear on your screen, till a complete standstill) that's differend between train types But handling times also differs between trains of the same type So the answer to your question, can be yes and no
 * A steam engine has a longer handling time than a diesel
 * Handling times between electric and diesel are almost the same
 * Maglev's have the fastest handling time
 * The Sheffield has a longer handling time than the Black Five (both steam engines)
 * The Mark VI-I has a longer handling time than the Shanghai MT

If you only take the journey time, thats the same for every train, so the answer is no If you include the handling times, the answer is yes

This doesnt apply when you send out ALL your international trains at once though There's still the 4 hour trip time for international trains, that applies to ALL trains, no matter what type You can't shorten the trip time by sending out maglevs instead of steamers
