Yeah, so fast. I must say that that is NOWHERE NEAR JET SPEED, for a high speed train that is snail speed.

you need to learn to count to 5

@interplexer

A man committed suicide to Shinkansen ten year ago.

His body was broken to >1,000 pieces and His mother could get only 3 teeth.

Actually it was doing 240km/h (150 MPH) That train was the 700 Series.

[Serkant75]

maan and no barrier this is so freaky. i get dizzy whenever a train fastly passes by

[theJnDproductions]

OH MY GOD OMG! I thought a subway was fast! Now i've seen everything!

[kwfine]

oh my god

that's so fast

[BornForTrance]

Is this Himeji station? I have absolutely same video :)

[AF402]

@BornForTrance It can't be Himeji, why?

1. The train was doing 240 km/h. if the 700 was a Hikari service it should stop there, if it was a Nozomi service it should be passing the station @ 285km/h (178 MPH)

2. Himeji is located in Sanyo shinkansn line but it's stated that the train was on Kyoto to Tokyo run so the place has to be in Tokaido shinkansen line.

so it should be a station with a curve that has a 230km/h speed limit.

cheers.

That is nice Stan I see you been busy since I left NYC, you should also visit Spain if you like fast trains.

I for one these days live in Malaga, southern Spain, but I work in Madrid so every time I have to go to Madrid I hop on the AVE and I am there in 2:30 yes 150 minutes (by the way a full refund is given if the train is over 15 min late), as you well know that is faster then getting to Far Rockaway from Astoria on the subaway !!!

i rode this as i lived in japan.

Perhaps we will. And perhaps sooner, rather than later. Proposition 1A (High-Speed Rail) is leading in California at the moment, although there remain quite a few ballots to be counted. The absentee ballots should be processed relatively quickly, but the provisional ballots may take some time, as they need to be verified one by one (as far as I know.)

It is my hope that California will follow Europe and Japan (among others) and build these high-speed trains within the next decade or two.

[h0troddude]

if so, i think America would redo some rails and stuff because these run buy electric.
