Beautiful train. My desktop background is a picture of the preserved 0 unit in York. :) Too bad that they were scrapped. But hey, the 100 & 200 series are still up and running, and they pretty much resemble the original 0 series. I have to visit Japan before these get phased out aswell!
@panacealand: Since you obviously know alot about Shinkansen, I have a question for you. Why were the 400 series retired so early? Here in Holland, we still have trains in service which date back to the 60s.
If you go to the Railway Museum in Omiya, Saitama-ken, you can see the Series 0. I just went April 16th, and you can walk through the train. What a wonderful tribute to a fantastic train!!! There are many memorials to the first ride from 1964-10-01...just in time for the Tokyo Olympics.
According to wikipedia the train was in use between(only 8 days left) 1 October 1964 - 14 December 2008. It is not FAIR, i have only had one ride in the most beautifal shinkansen. I hope that our national train museum will buy one so i can pay him a visit. Or perhaps they can be used in a new railroad between amsterdam and our poorer north-east holland. I think this train represented the establishing of a economic giant. Farewell my train.
I first rode Kodama in 1967, when it was three years old. Great ride. Of course 41 years later the U.S. still has nothing to compare with it. But Damn we got some great freeway traffic jams to talk about!
It is a tribute to the quality of the train that it lasted in service for 44 years. How many trains can last that long, and have such an impact on history? I'm sad to see it go.
Is there one Shinkansen 0-series reserved for museum-purposes? It's by far the best looking Shinkansen there is! That nose is just like one of an aeroplane! :)
Thank you for your comment!! It's true that like an aeroplane. Because, engineers modeled Shinkansen on airplanes. So lovely face, like a little bird. Series 0 Shinkansen is exhibited at many Japanese museums already. I don't know about future of this shinkansen train. Many rail cars will be dismantled and be scrap iron. So sad. If a museum which wishes to assign appears, only head rail car will be assigned by JR. Even if it is a foreign museum.
Thank you for your comment! This first (the most original) Shinkansen train is so lovely face(^o^). There are so many people who have attachment for it. Because this Shinkansen train had been running for 40 years or more. Japanese people have many fond and pleasant memories of this train. But now, it is low-performance train and also superannuated. I feel sad, too.
what an amazing train, beautiful face, almost life like when compared to the newer trains. greetings from nyc.

Travelled on these extensively back in 1987; smooth, quiet and extremely spacious. Great to see some still running.

what do u mean by 'see it go' is it they gonna clear all of this train??
sealalula 3 years ago 2
By "see it go" I meant "see it go out of service". These trains will not be run except for special occasions.
UrsusArctosT34 3 years ago 2
@UrsusArctosT34 The Chicago BiLevel gallery cars on BNSF line, built by Budd, have been runnin, till this day, since 1950!!
I love the 0 series, I wish I had the chance to ride in it, I should have gone to see it.
