2 Shinkansen trains pass by each other, 新幹線 高速すれ違い

[anhacus]

Boy, if they were on the same track that would be a horrifying mess.

[mugshotesp]

that's why in the nations that run high speed trains, they have a thing called active train control which will prevent any sort of massive colission due to prevention of running stop signals. If the US did this, perhaps we would have less rail accidents.

[markviduka09]

[chmr103]

I don't know...

[AF401]

@chmr103 300 Series runs mainly Hikari or rarely Nozomi

[mesamargura]

this its a nozomi 300 ...

[eyesofvenus]

actually its most likely a hikari :P

[DocileBomb]

What's the difference? I've heard of Kodama, Hikari, Grand Hikari, Hikari RailStar and Nozomi. What is the difference between them?

[chmr103]

Kodama (means "echo") stops each station.

Hikari (means "light") is faster than Kodama.

Nozomi (means "hope"), since 1992, is faster than Hikari.

Supplement charge is required for Nozomi except non-reserved seat.

Kodama, Hikari and Nozomi run between

Tokyo, Shin-Osaka and Hakata/Hukuoka.

[chmr103]

そうですね、列車の長さが400mとして、6秒弱で通過してます­からそのくらいは出てると思います。
