@neotokyomedia I think that everyone knows that Neumeister from Germany did the drawing of the 500 Series Shinkansen, the ICE3 model, one of the Shinkansen Fastech 360 prototype's nose etc...
Awesome to ride on. Travelled from Tokyo to Kyoto in 2.5 hrs with stops. Amazingly quiet for the speed it was hitting. Highlight of our trip to Japan. Awesome country. Can't wait to go back in August.
Why can't America pull something like this off? I love ACELA and wouldn't want to be without it, but as a developed nation one would think it's a no brainer to expend the energy, money and time required to make high speed trains like this (and infrastructure) a reality.
No, the Germans did exterior and interior design. Everything else is Japanese. The manufacturers were Hitachi, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Nippon Sharyo and Kinki Sharyo.
hmm, i'm not sure if that's a good justification for the petro- and private auto-oriented transport system we have in the states. certainly, expanding our mass transit system infrastructure wouldn't hurt.
why does amtrak lose millions of dollars every year? gas is cheap, and we don't like walking.
Erm don't you know about the Acela Express operated by Amtrak in the US. It runs between Boston and Washington DC i think. It's a high speed train running at 200 mph. Americans have high speed train. So DONT SAY AMERICANS ARE STUPID!
the fastest train in japan goes for about 321 miles per hour, but I wouldn't agree on the supid americans part, cuz America does do its share of contribution to this world.
the Acela also happens to be built by Bombardier and Alstrom, Canadian and French respectively ;)
if there were city to city expresses outside the NE corridor, then you could say that the US has high speed rail, not so much when it is just that one sector.
I think the U.S. wouldn't want a covering highspeed train net similar to the Japanese or the European systems, politically, and economically. But in the past they bought trains from France (Acela?) with technology of the TGV, Germany also took part in the competition with the ICE, but we didn't succeed with it. That's part of what kohwenchieh wanted to say with his comment. The Japanese systems are breaking all well-known limits.
the US has no need for high speed rail. there are only a few cities on the entire north american continent that are better served by rail than by airplane, and a good number of them are not realistic due to the terrain and weather issues that crop up during winter. japan is the perfect country for high speed rail because it's small and the temperature is overall very stable and almost always above 0 celsius.
with our government, i dont think there will ever be enough money circulating to make that happen. Trust me! Some of us Americans are smart, but not very many.
hey,when you have 1 to 3 mile long goods trains passing each other everyday at every second...*sigh* i dont know,what do you want us "stupid americans" to do? stop trade,and transportation of goods for a fuckin bullet train? get the fuck outta here man,think,research do somethin else instead of bashing america for not having fast trains all over the place what the fuck.
WOW!! That train is so futuristic, I LOVE japanese technology and it goes to prove that noone can compete with it, the shinkansen 500 is so futuristic to say the technology is 10 years old, i'm gobsmacked about it!
SNCF (the company that runs the TGV) has stated in technical manuals that while the service reliability of the TGV is good, it is sill 40x worse than Shinkansen technology. Mainly because the TGV runs on 2 power cars and Shinkansen runs as an EMU with traction motors spread out, increasing train reliability.
Totally agree with you. Japanese trains are the best and can't be compared with any other inferior trains. They're just way out of the league of any other trains in the world cos they're unique.

Of course Sir.
However, In Japan, we spent 2~4 million dollars/KM to construct Shinkansen's track.
It's not only for the sake of speeding 300KM/H, but of operating with safety - to avoid collision with car or human.
Can U.S. Federal Govrnment spent vast amount of money only to make construction of track sir?
