Shinkansen Bullet train from outside

[@fanirama]

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.

LOL, I was standing at a station when one of these flew past and I literally couldn't move I was in shock. It was fucking awesome!

[@karinaleb]

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

[@shelbyr]

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

[@airminnesota]

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

@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.

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!).

[@KidApe21]

geez those trains are extremely long

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

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.

[@gmatar]

this station is unimportant..no train is stopping lol

[@faggio0622]

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.

[@Kreicherisch]

They do sound like bullets.

[@TheFamilyguy421]

Bam! Fast!

[@OxSakuraHarunoxO]

that train goes 300 km per hour xD

[@nemesiss01]

KING of spped are not SHINKANSEN . It's the French TGV ( see the World Record train speed )

[@BJWTF]
