"0" series Shinkansen JNTO 16mm English

[@engineeredarmy1152]

As an Indian who loved trains since childhood, I was very emotional seeing this footage from 70s. My granny used to take me to my mom's native city on a diesel powered train, for 250kms it took 7 hours of journey and I always asked her a question on when we'll be able to reach in less than 5 hours, she laughed and said it's impossible. The fact that the current fastest train here runs at 160kmph while the Shinkansen 0 series ran at 220+ Kmph since 1964, shows how hard people of Japan worked to make it a success, I hope this technology which is currently under construction here helps our nation.

日本の在来線の最高速度は130km/hです。 在来線で160kとは羨ましい

The ticket printed in the film shows the date (昭和) 51.12.10, which translates to December 10, 1976. :-)

that's impressive.

[@vigsna]

Why 51?

[@allanotropy]

@@vigsna Because it was Year 51 of the reign of the Showa Emperor, Hirohito. Year 1 was 1926, so Year 51 was 1976. 🙂

Japan's Tokaido-Sanyo corridor has been changed so much since the time of footage, so as the Shinkansen. When I visit Japan, I really enjoyed Shinkansen so much. Incredible combination of speed, frequency, ride quality, comfort, and punctuality. Such a significant performance improvement of the current Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen fleet over the 0 series. What a progression. The ability to run 35.7% faster (285 km/h) on other straighter sections, tilt to run 31% faster (275 km/h) on curves considered tight for bullet trains, and accelerate 260% faster (2.6 km/h per second) compared to 0 series allows the current Tokaido Shinkansen fleet (now having just N700A and N700S) to maintain high average speed and make Nozomi runs over 515.4 km between Tokyo and Shin-Osaka in consistently below 2 hours 30 minutes (averaging at least 206.16 km/h, which is highly incredible as it approaches 210 km/h, the top speed number of 0 series) according to current schedule that is made with N700A & N700S performance levels in mind that has been possible since JR Central has retired the old 700 series back in 2020. When combined with ability to run 42.9% faster (300 km/h) on Sanyo Shinkansen, that level of performance also enabled the final Tokyo-bound daily train, Nozomi no.64, to cover 1069.1 km distance of the entire Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen course from Hakata to Tokyo, which the original 0 series needed 7 hours to do so, in just an incredible 4 hours 46 minutes (averaging at 224.29 km/h; which is so incredible as that number is higher than the 210 km/h top speed of 0 Series), and majority of other Nozomi services that run over that entire course between Tokyo and Hakata can cover the same distance in below 5 hours (averaging at least 213.82 km/h, also higher than top speed of 0 series) with one extra stop on Sanyo Shinkansen section, which can be Himeji, Fukuyama, Tokuyama, or Shin-Yamaguchi depending on particular service, over Nozomi no.64 that stop "only" at Kokura, Hiroshima, Okayama, Shin-Kobe, Shin-Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, Shin-Yokohama, and Shinagawa along the way.

This footage is a valuable relic. Thanks for the upload.

[@BritanniaPacific]

It amazes me to know that Japan has truly embraced the electric train, as evident with the series zero, and the other trains they operate today.

[@chayut1992]

TheNw1218 Today, N700A Shinkansen runs the exact same distance between Tokyo and Hakata stations in just 4 hours 46 minutes. The N700A Shinkansen can accomplish that feat because of fast acceleration, 300 km/h top speed, and tilting capability to maintain 275 km/h on 2500m radius curves (and 285 km/h can also be maintained on 3000m radius curves) mostly found between Tokyo and Shin-Osaka. This is also managed by digital ATC system that squeezes out the N700A’s performance even further. What a technological progression compared to 0 series that ran in 7 hours.

[@dbclass4075]

For a high-speed train to work, there is really little choice but to go electric. The extra weight of larger diesel engines will outweigh performance gains.

[@arsenalfeet]

What a great documentary. Much respect to japan for leading the way in high speed rail. Their reliability and pride in the job they do is something to be proud of.

[@Jaxymann]

Even in 1970 the modernity of the Shinkansen and Japan is stunning to see - it went from a nation reeling from destruction after World War II to one of the richest & most developed nations in the world in the 25 years before this film. It's incredible that Japan over 50 years ago resembled a more modern & advanced place than some places today.

[@MarceloKuroi]

This is a great document. I'm taking notes for my trip. The vintage technology and the smoking people is a blast from the past =) Thanks!

Thanks for Sharing. For 1970, this was truly the Best in the World and state of the art!

[@1862henry]

The Shinkansen still is state of the art, even now! They have the N700s Supreme trains that broke a record, at 224 mph!

[@Bureaucromancer]

1970 is a bit early for this, the extensions toward Hakata didn't fully open until 1975.

[@montesa35]

It's 1976

[@Music-oz3sz]

The Shinkansen is a high-speed railway created entirely from Japan's own aircraft manufacturing, and Japan has come to this point in the 19th year since the end of the war. It is fast, safe, accurate and easy to use, unrivaled by the technology of other developed countries. A Japanese-like vehicle born for the Japanese

[@vxllfire]

shinkansen's are an amazing train i rode the n700 in 2017 i wish i experienced the 0 series...

Greeting from Taiwan, We are Harvest Ideation from Taiwan, working on an exhibition with regards to “0系Shinkansen.” We would like to provide a link of this video in our exhibition as we are sure it will be the perfect expository video for the history of 0系. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you!

One Olympiad to another: the Shinkansen debuted in 1964, when Tokyo hosted the Games; 57 years later, just athletes, delegates & officials can board. Next year: the film, "Bullet Train", starring Brad Pitt, is filmed in Tokyo & L.A.

[@brucetharpe762]

In my opinion the original ‘Bullet Train’ from 1975 will always top the new one

[@sinsforeal]

at 20:13 what is that noise called in Japanese?

[@brucetharpe762]

I believe that’s the departure alarm system to let people on the platform know the doors will be closing and the train will be leaving momentarily

How did they get such perfect Hammond music for these old films? Was it prerecorded, or was the recording artist given working cuts for which to compose a score?
