Correct me if I am wrong but isn't this similar to Rush Hour where they double up the trains so its like right when rush hour starts

[Rocketboy1950]

@OGICHI21 OK I'll correct you. Yes they do this kind of thing in some places to cope with extra loading during rush hour but in this case it is because the trains are going to or coming from different lines.

@Rocketboy1950 so the reason i because the train are going the same direction?

[Rocketboy1950]

@Nanostarification They couple them up to go to Tokyo

[fordlukebo]

i can't figure out how they set up the system to couple up the engines, its confusing. i like the usa coupling style.

[Rocketboy1950]

@fordlukebo This system is only good for self propelled trains and trams. It cannot take any heavy stress like an automatic coupling. It is a good system that couples air and all electrical connections in one hit. I think you will find that it is in use in the US on modern streetcars and electric commuter trains. The couplings can be used as air only to isolate electrical faults between sets when there is a problem. Look up "scharfenberg". Wikipedia has a good page on all sorts of couplings.

Será que um dia teremos um trem assim aqui no Brasil? Du vi de o dó.

@xdaftpunkedx

Yeah and most american trust dumbs stereotypes, and tends to generalize.

There is a little paradox hidden there, will you find it ?

[gustav7133]

@OGICHI21 no it is used every time

[OGICHI21]

@Rocketboy1950 Ohhh I seee thank you for the info

The Hayate train(E2) is coupled with Komachi train(E3) from Tokyo to Morioka.

The two trains are uncoupled at Morioka. E2(Hayate) will go to Shin-Aomori and E3(Komachi) will go to Akita.
