  • Although this is truly fast, I once saw an Amtrak Acela fly by me at a New Jersey train station. Jesus !! First off, it was quiet when I stood at the station, then a moment later, increasing louder noise and a second later, this thing flies by me at ridiculous speed. The wind effect from it was ridiculous. It was literally, silence, whoosh for like 3-4 seconds and then silence. Incredible speed on the US Amtrak trains. Must've been going like about 120-150 mph easily.

  • @fanirama The max the Acela could've been doing would be 135 since the lines south of New York only allow that as a maximum speed. Likewise being at a station...they tend to slow it down a bit normally...but I could be wrong. It still pales in comparison to the Shinkansen which you see doing between 150-186 in this vid...once again depending on whether they slow down or not near stations. We could definitely use a few more Acela all around this country.

  • 25meterX16cars=400meter

  • ive been on one they so cool when your in a tnnel and theres 2metere long ligghts then have a space in between on the train it just looks like one long light throughout the tunnel

  • HOLY SHIT! that's awesome! those japanese are CRAZY!

  • geez those trains are extremely long

  • They do sound like bullets.

  • continuous express trains... (until 2:00)

  • My Lil Bro Is 2 And Loves This So Much

  • in the video the second train thats my favorite kind of bullet train

  • its so great how high speed trains can make a turn like at at that kind of speed.

  • Incorrect.

    The Japanese Maglev (look up MLX01) is faster and hit 586km/h before the TGV reached it's 574km/h.

    Besides which, the shinkansen runs at a much higher average speed, and the majority of lines are dedicated to it, unlike the TGV which runs at high speed a lot less.

  • im kinda biased cuz im japanese but i think ppl who support the french TGV just miss the point...

    trains in japan hav a disadvantage cuz of the terrain. nonetheless the bullet train travels at 300km/h at frequencies of about 1 train every 10 minutes. the TGV can never do that. so the maglev beats the TGV by speed and the bullet train also beats it for being a lot more convinent.

    tell me if im wrong.

  • this station is unimportant..no train is stopping lol

  • look at 1:58

  • dude try a tripod or a steadyshot

  • I love people like you for being so dumb. I love them so much in fact, that I just wish them to jump on the tracks as the train is coming their way. Idiot people.

  • that train goes 300 km per hour xD

  • i thought the french TGV were the only trains to go 300km per hour????

  • that was ages ago

  • We are so far behind in the usa to have anything like this.

  • damn wtf are those people trying to do kill then people on the train

  • How fast were they going? The Acela ones here go a little over 130 I think. But dang, those fuckers were flying!

  • Acela at its maximum goes at approx 250km/hr. These trains can go at 320km/hr.

  • i remember going on that train. it was so kewl cuz i hadnt been on a train before.

  • What speed do the through (non-stopping) trains pass at that location ?

  • Get a tripod or a monopod. Learn how to use the zoom and get an editing programme to remove the really bad shaky bits.

  • Nice observation. If you see closely, you'll realize that it's the middle track, which is for trains that don't stop at a station. Once a train crosses the platform, it'll merge with one of the main tracks, depending on the direction the train is going. Hope this helps!

  • lol this is fake the train goes in both direction on the same track....impossible hahah

  • yes its possible,even in the uk,its called bi-directional signalling,sure the Japs are a great deal more advanced than us,I'd say about 25 years in everything they do. i.e. they were running electric trains at 225km/h in 1964

  • Look carefully: there are 4 sets of tracks. The middle two are used by trains which don't stop (so passengers aren't swept off the platform!).

  • Fantastic video!!!

    Amazing to watch bullet trains go by.

    Here in Brazil, our trains don't go above 70 km/h

    we are poor :(

  • LOL :p

  • hold the camera firmly

    you are making the viewers sick

  • LOL
