More proof, that just like their cars, Japanese trains are excellent.

[ilikedirtable]

@Glenn1967ful and video games lol

[SallyAlbatross]

Cool, I want to go on the bullet train too

[xxGingerminger]

I wanted to go on the bullet train ride but I was told it was expensive so I went on the theme park ride bullet train instead XD

[bkourman]

It was not a joy ride, just had move between cities in Japan. BTW, luggage traveled separately by truck.

[xxGingerminger]

Oh yeah I know, I accidently put ride in.

Our tourist told us about the bullet train but we couldn't go on it to our destination so we took the bus.

[c0ldsurg3]

Shit that's fast

[pogingmasunurin]

wow that's fast!

[Jsd8675]

fast personal plane? lol

[bkourman]

Do you fly? Cirrus SR-20 can fly at 160 knots, SR-22T can do 190 knots, those machines are cost about $0.5 million to enjoy. I fly Cessna 182 and rarely goes any faster than 120 knots. Of course I am not talking about personal jets, I said personal airplanes.

[bigyin1984]

Oooooh fast, if only my trains were this fast going to uni, I would never have missed a lecture.

[B0YSTARPRODUCTiONS]

bullet trains are fast, they need some here in New York, it takes mad long in brooklyn

[bkourman]

One thing is baggage handling, we don't have it in the US, traveling on bullet train does not involve hauling suitcases behind, they travel separately and in my case never lost.

[nuorangejapan]

@bkourman I have traveled by Shinkansen at least 5 times and I have always brought my luggage with me. There may be the option to ship luggage separately but I have never had that situation. Probably has to do with the fact that if your luggage comes by truck, it will arrive far behind the train. Supposing I wanted to catch a plane, it would make sense for the luggage to be with me.

[keepmehangingonset]

@nuorangejapan , you should use Takkyu-bin service.

[nuorangejapan]

@keepmehangingonset Takkyuu-bin is for express shipping luggage?  Is this service offered by JR?

[keepmehangingonset]

@nuorangejapan JR has similar service "Perikan-bin", where you can send your heavy luggage anywhere within Japan for about less than 1500 yen within one to three days, I think.

[nuorangejapan]

@keepmehangingonset I see, thanks for the answer.

[gibb1991]

@B0YSTARPRODUCTiONS You have the Acela Express which reaches a top speed of 150 mph.

[Holret]

man are you trying to get somewhere fast or what!?

[julius923]

Looks and sounds like Warp Factor 6.

[EAFSQ9]

Actually, was it a Nozomi 500?If it was, then its fine, but was it a Hikari Rail Star Train? If it Was, that's over regulation speed limits.

[bkourman]

I really don't know what the type of train it was, it the one with flat nose, I have pictures of it arrival. I also have video with my GPS (Garmin 60csx) in frame confirming that speed.

[UrsusArctosT34]

The train may have started off a little late, or been cleared to run at a higher speed due to congestion further down the line. The flat-nosed type (700 series) has a maximum of 285km/h. There's a very sophisticated Automatic Train Control system on all Shinkansen lines, so no train goes faster than it is supposed to go.

[thibaulthalpern]

Oh pulease...

shittttttttttt
