*the birth of a legend...the 0-Series Shinkansen* that would pave the way for future Shinkansen developments such as todays Rail Star, 500 Series, N700 series, N700A Series, Doctor Yellow, the E4 series, etc.

Yes it was the birth of high speed rail worldwide

@MEATYOKERRable Год назад

The thing that gets me about this documentary is not only did Japan design and build this line from scratch.... they engineered and built practically if not EVERYTHING that went into it.... The tracks, the equipment, the trains themselves, even smelting the steel to make it all possible. This mega project was truly pioneering.

@Jesuis-qe8ql 3 года назад

It is the 5th time that I have seen this documentary that RU-vid recommends to me and I still can't get enough of watching this documentary on how the bullet train line is built in Japan, I remember the first time I saw this documentary, I kept the square eye of how a mega work is built in the 1960s in Japan but now it is normalized.

@JapaneseHistory 3 года назад

Yes Je suis. The bullet train is a modern marvel and engineering success. The bullet train and 1964 Olympics was a signal to the world from Japan saying we're back. This particular documentary is one of the best in colour and such high quality film. It's one of my favourites. 👍

Shinkansen was born in October, 1964. Since the time Shinkansen has never occurred human die accident by the train own. Even during earth quake, the trains stoped automatically and stood as it was.

@hhppecit Год назад

The amount of hard work and detail that went into the first Shinkansen system are mind boggling! All this was achieved 60 years ago and in a span of around 3 yrs since groundbreaking. Shows the foresight and vision the planners had.

@bumb.wingman 3 года назад

Shinkansen really provided a faster and more comfortable transportation, This is a impressive train with its ability to expand everywhere, the world war 2 screwed up japan, I bet it took really hard effort to just lay the rails from tokyo to new-osaka.

@JapaneseHistory 3 года назад

Yes indeed, YDS. I remember my last journey on the Shinkansen to Hiroshima put me to sleep. It was such a smooth ride and the hum of the motors as we sped along was so relaxing. Tokyo to Shin-Osaka was 515 km according to the documentary all brand new track separated from road traffic and crossings. An engineering marvel at a time where the world was moving heavily into airplanes.

@bumb.wingman 3 года назад

When i was at the shinkansen too, I felt like i was at a time machine because its just a very great ride, and it was so fast.

@waikikisurfingschool270 Год назад

Amazing 5 minutes into it and wow. My first time on a Shinkansen was from Tokyo to Osaka to see Expo 70. Earlier this month I went Tokyo to Kokura and back. I’m back in Hawaii and looking at the snail rail they can’t even complete it and budget keeps rising.

@manoharjishnu2009 9 месяцев назад

ln Sep of 1945 if someone would've told anyone that in 19 years time, Japan will build the world's fastest, most sophisticated and advanced railway system, no one would've believed.

@JapaneseHistory 9 месяцев назад

Yes, it has been one of Japan's biggest success stories and paved the way for all other countries that have high speed rail today to follow. The Chuo Shinkansen will be the next big development in this area.

The first TGV prototype was finished by 1972, but then they realized they needed to do what Japan did and build a dedicated electrified rail corridor for high speed train, which they build from 1976 to 1981.

@JapaneseHistory 2 года назад

This is true. China built some much high speed trains so fast. I think like 40,000km in 15 years really amazing. It has set the country up for the future and broken the reliance on road and air transport.
