I feel the same way over here in the USA for both our old “streamliner” trains, as well as the 0 series and 100 series Shinkansen. I still want to visit Japan some day, but. I am very sad that the only place I will ever see my two favorite Shinkansen is in a museum now. Still, it is better than the USA where things are not often preserved. Such as the famous New York Central 20th Century Limited, Cammodore Vanderbilt, and Mercury trains. The Milwaukee Railroad ones and the PRR T1.
