Shinkansen bullet train passing through Atami station at night. Wow -- very fast! This train that passes through is on its way towards Tokyo. We had a train pass and it was great last minute side trip to Atami from Odawara for dinner. The coastline views of are great along here.
@SPS148669 I love the way the Acela gets quoted but very rarely is it mentioned that the high speed sections don't amount to much of the total service. Nonetheless its far better than the shit that passes for high speed passenger trains in Australia where I live.
In U.S they have the 240 kilometer per hour Acela Express (only high speed train in USA.). The no platform gates on the high speed section as well, Dangerous some high speed rail around the world still don't have safetly gates.
@Rocketboy1950 wow really? thats awesome....standing on a platform 10 feet away from this thing as it flies by at full speed has gotta be a rush.
