The second meaning is "sleek" or "aerodynamic." The streamlined shape of a bullet train means it can travel much faster than older, rectangular train cars. The original meaning of streamline, from the 1850's, was "line drawn from point to point, so that its direction is everywhere that of the motion of the fluid."
