60 Years of the Tokaido Shinkansen!

On 1 October 1964, a railway line like no other opened. Connecting Tôkyô and Ôsaka, paralleling an existing main line, the Tôkaidô New Trunk Line had minimal curves, lots of bridges, zero level crossings. Striking white and blue electric multiple units, with noses shaped like bullets some would say, started zooming between the two cities as at the unheard-of speed of 210 km/h.

This was the start of the Shinkansen, inaugurating the age of high-speed rail.

The trains, with noses actually inspired by the aircraft of the time, originally didn't have a name, they were just "Shinkansen trains", as they couldn't mingle with other types anyway due to the difference in gauge between the Shinkansen (standard gauge, 1435 mm between rails) and the rest of the network (3'6" gauge, or 1067 mm between rails). The class would officially become the "0 Series" when new trains appeared in the 1980s, first the very similar 200 Series for the second new line, the Tôhoku Shinkansen, then the jet-age 100 Series. Yes, the 200 came first, as it was decided that trains heading North-East from Tôkyô would be given even first numbers, and trains heading West would have odd first numbers (0 is even, but never mind).

Hence the next new type to appear on the Tôkaidô Shinkansen was the 300 Series (second from left), designed by the privatised JR Tôkai to overcome some shortcomings of the line. Indeed, the curves on the Tôkaidô were still too pronounced to allow speeds to be increased, while all other new lines had been built ready for 300 km/h operations. But a revolution in train design allowed speeds to be raised from 220 km/h in the 80s to 285 km/h today, with lightweight construction (on the 300), active suspension (introduced on the 700 Series, left) and slight tilting (standard on the current N700 types).

Examples of five generations of train used on the Tôkaidô Shinkansen are preserved at JR Tôkai's museum, the SCMaglev & Railway Park, in Nagoya, with the N700 prototype lead car outdoors. It's striking to see how far high-speed train technology has come in Japan in 60 years. The network itself covers the country almost end-to-end, with a nearly continuous line from Kyûshû to Hokkaidô along the Pacific coast (no through trains at Tôkyô), and four branch lines inland and to the North coast, one of which recently got extended.

An inspection Shikansen "Doctor Yellow" in Tokyo more

*The yellow Shinkansen is an inspection Shinkansen that is nicknamed "Doctor Yellow." It's a rare Shinkansen so you'd be happy if you could see it. It's planed to retire in the near future.

[ 31/7 - Tokyo Travel vol.1 ] 5時半起きの一人旅

The ever-trusty Seishun 18 Ticket, a free ride ticket for all JR lines, was rumoured to be nerfed (and it actually did starting this autumn), so for the possibly last time, I decided to travel all the way from Kobe to Tokyo via local JR lines. From my home station, I travelled to Kobe and then transferred to JR where I went all the way through Osaka and Kyoto to Maibara. From here is the Tokaido line operated by JR Tokai. It was surprising to see tablet stands within the cab which comes with location services for accurate stopping at stations. Train replacements have recently progressed rapidly in this region. The 311 series era may come to an end soon.
