JR West Japan Shinkansen Series 500 "NOZOMI"

[MultiMegaDEN]

интересно,управляет машинист или пилот ?))

[DrMarcusKane]

We should have these in Britain, better than crappy Virgin Pendolinos. Providing we get new track built, all the way from London to Scotland and not just Birmingham!

[wols9377]

@DrMarcusKane the front end would be in Scotland and the last section still in Londen

[xrdxex]

Approaching lightspeed in 3...2...

[PatrikStarFunk]

Amazing train!!

[MrMt1600]

i like to share something ,when i had conversation with an american he said he dont believe theres a train that runs 300m/h ,i said thats true in japan i was there 20 yrs. ago and i rode that train he said im a lier how can it run that fast in the curve. iwas surprised how japans technology america dont have if you go there you know and see what i mean just look at the cars and electronics.

[123hardcoretyp]

bugatti veyron vs shinkansen on 10 miles would be cool

[5244vlad]

I have one like these.

[Gah431]

[gospelnews123]

This thing can fit so many people, five+ times as many as a plane, leaves and arrives faster than a plane...what are we waiting for in the US?

[rbxslvr]

@gospelnews123 Money. Also 186mph (the train pictured above) < 570mph (Boeing 727)

[Reuter3985]

[CittyCat22]

Real Beauty..

[MiamiHighRise]

Not terribly impressive acceleration

[vonerrr12]

good design!

[1aMattes]

But will it blend?

[ppunterFlightsimdude]

@1aMattes But this goes faster than a blenders rpm lol

[r32guy1]

the design is from the ice train they changed it a wee bit .german trains are the best.go germany down with japs

[seymoresaymore]

@r32guy1 Whatever, nobody.

[zcuzcu]

Oh boy, why is it stationary......

[RedDwarffs]

I want one.

[zemersEU]

Now that's one badass train!

[n1234ick]

japanese trains are by far the best looking out of all hsr.

[weeardguy]

@n1234ick Yes. And we Dutch people will have the worst looking ;) Our V250 from AnsaldoBreda looks awful...

[n1234ick]

@weeardguy at least you have high speed rail in australia our trins go max 100 kph

[weeardguy]

@n1234ick Well, few reason to be happy: the Dutch HSL has become our biggest railway-fail ever: the carriages mostly run empty, the trains that now run are refurbished carriages who in theory are made for 160 km/h but generate so much noise (especially in tunnels) that I really don't want to be in those things.

And the biggest problem: the trains that will reach 250 km/h (somewhere in the future) aren't in service yet, but the supplement is already at the normal level...

[n1234ick]

@weeardguy i could see this getting into a who has the worse rail system competition. but at least you are near gemany and they have pretty damn good trains and sorry the netherlands aint very big you could be anywhere in an hour or two

[akaVeb]

я офигел, когда увидел ДВА(!) обычных(!) рельса о_О

[xPavelDon]

@akaVeb а у нас есть мегасовременные Сапсаны =))...

[xPavelDon]

@chuttomchutto no, simply we live in the past )))

[LMB222]

@chuttomchutto dude, half of Europe enjoys such things.

[ipadize]

[DELROYJOHNSON73B]

WOW! This is very cool for that train! I guess look likes a Jet Master Train!! Awesome to vid.

[jqcpf963]

おねがいだよぉぉぉ、５００系復活してくれェェェlﾟ(ﾟ´Д｀­ﾟ)ﾟ

[inakaJP]

素晴らしいデザインと、白、青、黒のカラーリング。

５００系こそ技術大国日本を象徴する列車だと思う。

アヒルのクチバシのような新幹線はダサい。

[matroz886]

niedługo w Polsce wystarczy poczekać aż Japończycy zamieszkają na marsie :)

[RicoIcoR]

omg it look awesome

[ntt688]

This design is unbelievably good!

[detalikota]

Интересно, как он на поворотах на такой скорости(500км.в час) не слетает

[sergejjezernik]

VERY NICE

[giselayt]

Nice video!!!!!!!!!!

[danNYx86]

How long is that thing??

[schmytt]

que doido!!!!

[catalinux007leiro]

we need these in europe and us. people are so selfish and individualist that they want to travel in private car alone, not interaction with other people like you do in a train. and wounder we got socialization problems. we drive alone, we work alone, we eat alone and finaly we die alone.

[puketinho]

@catalinux007leiro In europe you dont need more train syste any more, bcause you do almost every thing alone, this is why your population is decreasing rapidly. I never saw the profession of train pusher like japan.

[macdaddy1600]

@puketin think japan is on top of this game the usa sucks at this no highspeed trains

[puketinho]

@macdaddy1600  I think airlines lobby hinders that.

[tehatemachine]

@macdaddy1600 CALIFORNIA IS NEXT FOR HSR!!! we are going to begin construction next year foo! and California is about the size of japan.

[Raffix394]

@macdaddy1600 The German Siemens Velaro is faster than the Shinkansen, infact the Velaro is the fastest series produced train in the world.. I wonder for how long..

[UraeusAnkhAmon]

@Raffix394 What?

It's not the fastest produced, take the TGV.

[Raffix394]

@UraeusAnkhAmon There's a world record TGV made only to break the speed record but that train isn't in series production and doesn't transport any passengers on daily basis.

The Velaro on the other hand is in serial production and is faster than the serial production version of the TGV (320km/h vs 350 km/h).

The Velaro is the better and more modern train, tilting train technolodgy, pressure compansation, and passengers can sit in the first wagon.

READ and COMPREHND first, before you reply ;).

[UraeusAnkhAmon]

@Raffix394 First of all you were talking about the speed, and it's 320 (TGV) vs. 300 (ICE) second this train has an operating speed of 300 too, so it's slower than the TGV.

[Raffix394]

@UraeusAnkhAmon Yes I was talking about the speed of production trains, I never said anything about the ICE.

"ICE" are different train models and it's jst the name the Deutsche Bahn gave the trains not Siemens, the current ICE 3 trains reach up to 330km/h.

That's just a sidenote I was talking about the Velaro, and for instance the version for Spanish railroads the Velaro E AVE S-103 reaches 350 km/h.

I will repeat what I said in my previous comment.

READ and COMPREHND first, before you reply

[Nervantoss]

@Raffix394 not really. is not a TGV is a special train. 75% of technologie si from AGV. a new train whit commercial speed is 360kmh.

i dont think Valero is better specially it dont have an articulated system for safety. when the ICE derailed in 1997 there has been 100 death, compare to a TGV, derailed at 294kmh only 10 slightly injured person.

[weeardguy]

@Nervantoss Yes... but did the TGV also slam into a concrete bridge after derailing? That has caused the most deaths at the Eschede crash, because all carriages behind it piled up as the first one plowed into the bridge.

[tehatemachine]

@catalinux007leiro are you FOREVER ALONE?

[company939]

VVVF inverter souds good!

[dovic3107]

I don't like the design !!

[radenvi]

No, its an airplane.......

[1elgalle1]

`wooowwwww beautiful OMG!!

[thekidbuu1]

wow high tech train cool,

[thegreatCoDplayer]

does NOZOMI mean ZOMG in japanese???

[ashitaharemasuyouni]

@thegreatCoDplayer

NOZOMI means HOPE in japanese.

[NoLimitsPlayer]

These trains are very ugly.

Spanish trains look much better.

(see renfe serie 103)

Absolut großartiger stromlinieförmiger Zug. Optisch wie von einem anderen Stern.Top !!!

[gaycowboy31]

very sinular to the ones I saw in Bejing China last year for there new highspeed service

[coolcarman555]

the train designers r gonna make this thing flatter and flatter until its the width of a piece of paper

[katashioknows]

I CAN"T WAIT i will be on this thing a lot next summer!!!

I like 500 series the best !!

700's face is not bad, but not so good.

[riefi66]

How many coaches has it?? I do not count them.

[mylittleemperor]

Brilliant video aswell !!! :D

[uniqdymand]

Bugatti Trainron

[zx6rtt]

looks like the front of a fighter jet

[74BDR180PS]

500系最高！

[edj66]

Apparently this is retiring...fucking ridiculous that they are retiring trains that are better, younger, faster, and better looking than any we have in the UK. Stupid fucking country I live in.

[Kenta19191919]

@edj66

The retirement has been driven by the jealousy the JR Tokai holds against the JR East. Tokai was given none of the real estates in the Capital, had its HQ pushed out to Nagoya, and they believe that this discriminating treatment had been masterminded by the East. Because the best Tokai can do is to delay the connection of the IC card settlement system with the East, they turns to the West to bully. Sad people.

[ND4SPDVENNOM]

This is the BEST looking train in the world. I had the good fortune of riding it twice. Sadly JR West has retired it from Nozomi duty and put it on Kodama duty from Osaka to Hakata. You will never see this train in Tokyo again

[maverickmohan]

Japs know how to invent things!

[randledpxy]

@maverickmohan

you white fat pigs know how to invent Amtraks.

[maverickmohan]

@randledpxy. Seriously you are such a dick head. I am not from america.

[pinkfreud62]

@randledpxy us "white pigs" also knew how to invent the atomic bomb.

[randledpxy]

@pinkfreud62 yes you can invent such a useless thing. Do you know nuc plants in USA are constructed by Japanese companies such as Hitachi or Toshiba? USA cannot construct nuc plants without Japanese technologies. Pls know how to invent usefull things.

[randog69]

just sitting there it looks like its flying!

[LordoftheKaty]

Those are some sexy aerodynamics!!!

[Idonteatdog]

This is the best looking HST ever. Sadly, the japs give preference to optimize aerodynamics and the new models are uglier.

[jonoaa]

310-260mph

[shu910]

good VVVF sound !!!

[Noxious597345]

Dont forget the flux capacitor merged with a gammatron 3000 for more hyrdo-sync displacement at warp 30. Thats important when yeilding solor wind hyper tension during space travel. You know...

[simhopp]

@Noxious597345

umm, you mean "HYPO-tension"

[snowytaco10]

It looks like an airplanes on the ground... a really LOOOONG airplane on the ground lol

[usaosakan]

@snowytaco10

Yes, it does. And it is really competing airplanes. Airplanes are technically faster than Shinkansen, though you have to go all the way to the airport which is usually far from the central part of cities. However, you can get on Shinkansen in cities. I prefer Shinkansen rather than planes when I go to Tokyo from Osaka. Becasue it is easier and quicker for me. My body doesn't get tired by Shinkansen, but I'm always tired after I get on airplane for Tokyo somehow.

[Hampuppy999]

Only if the worst train company in the world: first great western, had one of those. there trains will actuly be on time

[BleachFan9891]

That is the coolest looking train I've ever seen.

[subbuteo91]

Ho un suppositoire japonais !!!!!!!!!! Ho pardon c'est un train...

[nicongo]

fuck you

[dutchtrucker]

How sad british railways are, dirty inside and out, never on time and styled by Stevie Wonder...

[BostonUrbEx]

How fast can this go? Looks like quiet a beast.

[Vralik]

Apparently 500 km/h and from the vids ive seen...it goes that fast

[alopez850]

It Starts Slow Later BOOOOM!!!

[Hammeron2M]

"Nozomi" what does that word mean?

[matsubokuri]

"Nozomi" means "Hope".

In "hiragana" it is written as "のぞみ" and using chinese character as "望み".

The Japanese Experiment Module (JEM) of the International Space Station (ISS) is called as "KIBO", "きぼう" in hiragana, and "希望" in chinese character.

This "KIBO" also means "Hope".

[hokumura]

When Shinkansen debuted 40 years ago, there were 2 types of trains. "Hikari" (means "light") and "Kodama" ("echo" - sound). Kodama stops all stations while Hikari stops limited stations, so Hikari (light) is faster than Kodama (sound), so it makes sense, doesn't it?

At 1992, JR introduced the 3rd type of train that is faster than Hikari. But nothing can be faster than light. JR thought "hope is faster than anything, even than light." and "Nozomi" ("hope") became the name of the train.

[simhopp]

@hokumura

nozomi, hikari, akazuki names are used for trains well before Shikansen.

don't know about in Japanese main land, but in occupied Korea and Manchuria before WW2,

train running from Busan to Seoul was called Akazuki.

Busan to Bongcheon was called Hikari.

Busan to Manchuria was called Nozomi.

[nyshortline]

One word: SLEEEEEEEEEEK!!!!!!!

[clubsfun]

what a snake

[tom133991]

im not gonna lie i dont know anything about these, but just wondering if its using magnets to float, wouldnt it just derail at the first corner, ino im def missing something so if anyone could explain that would be nice ty :)

[bottomOFair]

there already is "linear motor car" in jpn. they're arguing about a course now.

[DeltaPhi79]

Um no. They're not. Nobody in the world (that I know of) is using maglev for passenger rails. XD

[tom133991]

guessed so

thx anyway

[giacomoglassmann]

o trem até que é bonito, mas é de tecnologia velha, deveria ser um trem Maglev

[iamaunik]

that is a nice train and speedy for sure as you see it has many cars attached but still it is accelerating incredibly fast. cool train.

[Raminagrobisfr]

Each car has its own engines, so it'll accelerate the same no matter the number of cars :))

[thibaulthalpern]

Really? Wow! No way!

[peter86346]

N700 is much much faster!

[mtrtrain]

500 and N700 is the same max speed.....300kmh

or maybe you mean when 500 is running kodama now and it wont run 300kmh

[by78]

This has got to be, in my opinion, one of the best, if not the best looking train in the world.
