3:52 you gotta just love it when the camera shutter speed is exactly right to make it look like the windows are stationary as the train moves oast

[@JimbobsTransportVideos]

I don’t think that’s true

[@saulschlapik6818]

I've gotten a similar effect shooting out the back of a Eurocity train in Germany. It looked like the ties/sleepers were moving in the same direction as the train.

[@ryushev2000]

its not the shutter speed, its the framerate

[@Roshi_710]

I love that all express trains in Japan all look diffrent

[@danielfront]

Ah 78 OK 89p o poo i9o8%1

[@amtrak1214]

Yeah, but would it kill them to maybe speed them up a bit? Like maybe to 100 or 90 mph? I know they have the Shinkansen but still.

[@Roshi_710]

@@amtrak1214 Well the tracks gauge is 1067mm so it’s kinda difficult. Plus there’s a lot of turns as the trains go through very mountain areas sometimes…

[@amtrak1214]

@@Roshi_710 Well I meant wherever they can

[@Roshi_710]

@@amtrak1214 There are some lines where the trains go up to like 130 km/h or 80 mph. And honestly they have bullet trains so there’s not much of a need to make the express trains faster.

My family goes to japan every summer. This time we couldn’t go due to covid, so I’m just watching videos of Japan now.

[@madeinjapan3333]

Glad u love Japan it’s Autumn season now

[@justasquirrelwithaguitar7980]

Wish I could go it just seems so quirky and amazing and cool also it made anime so yea

[@Ihaveanamenowtaken]

Yamanote line!!! Oh, the memories!!! The announcements! The melodies!!! ❤️

[@saulschlapik6818]

Having ridden trains in 22 countries, this is why Japan is my favorite. The variety of trains on all six JR companies and private railways is amazing, especially the Limited Expresses. Hope to get back there sometime . . .

[@mokhtaramin2011]

I love Japan trains. I think I've taken them about 20 times at the most. But they are always efficient, punctual and clean. Even being at the train stations is an enjoyable experience. Arigato godzaimasu. 🇯🇵🇸🇬

[@nmgt1048]

what a great variety of trains, all different colors, single deck, double deck, locomotive hauled, EMU, Shinkansen, freight, all different styles.

[@video_mitch]

Yes, they seem to have a train for every occasion!

[@zaralexanderiiiofrussia2525]

Looks amazing

[@video_mitch]

It was!

[@meangreen1911]

Very cool!

[@Marc.B111]

3:22 is it common, that the 700 Series has more than the two train cars with these "connectors" in the middle of the train? The train at 3:58 only has the one pair of these "connectors".🤔

[@MPDTransport]

Nice video

[@video_mitch]

[@wolfaruuz]

[@wolfaruuz]

The sound of the train of it is very rarebplus i like it very much

[@theairplanegeek]

17:18 I love those central cars for some reason

[@video_mitch]

The double deck ones? Yes, a bit low luxury for your commute compared to the other cars.

[@Sophie-eq1io]

from 1:08 looks like the railcars from England

[@video_mitch]

Yes, now you mention it. The Networkers sets I believe

[@shobhawativishwakarma5758]

❣Faridabad should look like Tokyo❣ 💕Mitsubishi/Fujitsu/Subaru/Kubota should setup its manufacturing plant at Faridabad💞

[@BrentJatko]

I think it's called "Sunrise Express." Sunshine Express is in Australia...IJS

[@video_mitch]

Yes, you are correct. I'll add a remark in the video notes. Thanks.

[@jamalzafar77]

narrow gauge 1067 mm

[@nastysourceX]

That's meter gauge lmao narrow gauge is 900 mm smaller I think

[@leeraisagoatngl1463]

I.. Need.. Go.. Japan.. 😫

[@AjitSingh-ul2pe]

After 1945 how Japan developed is remarkable .India on the other hand was entangled in politics.

[@RS-nq8xk]

Tokyo is pretty much the city with the least variety though.

[@close_friend_of_your_mom]

I liked the Takasaki train 👍👍👍

[@video_mitch]

Cool 👍

[@犬用下着ソース入り消臭剤]

Hehe, "NOT JUST SHINKASEN!"

[@Jesuis-qe8ql]

5:30 ese tren se la esta cayendo como polvo o agua o vapor that train is falling like dust or water or steam その列車はほこり、水、または蒸気のように落ちています

[@Hick7toi]

[@trevormaxwell8134]

Why are the tracks so narrow in Japan?

[@ninofromkitchennightmares1497]

Branyon Heffley Narrow Gauge The Shinkansen Has A Wider Gauge

[@me-ib1zo]

Do they need to be wider?

[@deslynnsporne8684]

Here in Brisbane, Queensland Australia our railway is also narrow gauge.

[@saulschlapik6818]

I believe it's because the country is so mountainous that narrower and shorter train cars can handle steeper grades and sharper curves.

[@7coloreddrops]

Because of their historical reasons.

You Japanese are obviously good engineers. Bur us western lot want you tp bring up the Yamato. The greatest battleship of WW2. The Chinese will pay for the steel and a lot of bastards who would do it. So you guys have the skills and money to raise it. I promise to come and see it. The greatest battleship ever. By the way. We love you lot and stay Japanese.
