Will agree to an extent that the video topics on non-Euro/NA railways is superficial and lacking in some ways (at least outside of high speed rail and travel vlogging)
Small correction, one of the two Tunnels is open again. But to operate at full capacity again, the second tunnel has to be repaired, which will take until September 24. Still a massive damage, as 7km of track have to be completely repaired. The damage is estimated to be around 117 million dollars (100 million CHF).
I like theI like how the Seikan tunnel where constructed for 2 reasones: 1. The pilot tunnel to test diffrent constructiontechniques. That is a smart move by the Japanese! Maybee expensive now but in the long run it'll be cheaper in maintenance having the very best in the main tunnel. 2. If the standards would change in the future, the Japanese made sure those standards would be met, also in the future. The tunnel where built from the start to meet future standards. Half the future job done now. Once again, costs where cut for the future. These 2 techniques by the Japanese should be implemented globally when building tunnels. :)

They are planning to pack the 1067mm freight waggons inside 1435mm covered Wagons so that the speed for the shinkansen Trains in the Tunnel could be Raised. At the Moment there is the danger of "Blewing" the Freight Wagons or Containers off Track by the wind from faster shinkansen Trains when meeting a freigt train in the Tunnel.
Fun fact: The middle part of Tsugaru Strait belongs to international waters, while staying inside Japan's exclusive economic zone. This means the risk exists that either China, Russia or North Korea can carry out unrestricted submarine warfare there if they dare to do so. IMHO Japan's main purpose of building the Seikan Tunnel is to ensure Hokkaido (I mean the whole prefectural jurisdiction which includes some outlying islands) will not be fully blocked in the worst case scenario, rather than simply eliminating the risk of another train ferry being sunk by natural disasters.
This the kind of fine video that we would like to produce ourselves. Good work! Before the shinkansen was extended through the tunnel, we took the tour (since discontinued) where a train would drop you off and another one later collect you at Tappi-kaitei and you could get a tour of the tunnel complex. We took the tour in 2007, and are very happy we had the experience.
Interesting video. The extra rail on the track to accommodate 1067 mm gauge trains is interesting. As an Irish person I reckon that if a tunnel was built between Ireland and Britain an extra rail would be laid for 1600 mm gauge trains. This is an interesting and insightful video.
There are other sections in Japan where trains of different gauges run on three rails. For example, the Akita Shinkansen and Ou Main Line share the tracks between Mineyoshigawa Station and Jinguji Station, and the Hakone Tozan Train and Romance Car share the tracks between Hakone Yumoto Station and Iriuda Station.
Excellent video! Your efforts become still more valuable thanks to your perfect narrations. Thank you so much for sharing..Take care and keep well and safe...from Anwar
If the tunnel was designed to Shinkansen standards from the beginning, why is the maximum speed only 140 km/h? What is the limiting factor and why was it not avoided? That is a huge penalty for a high speed train, since you also have to consider deceleration and acceleration times.
The problem is that the speed of the Shinkansen cannot be increased. The reason is that the Shinkansen shares the track with a freight train, so if a freight train and the Shinkansen pass each other at high speed in a tunnel, the freight train's containers may be blown away, so the current Shinkansen is limited to 140 km/h.
Kyushu is already connected to the Honshu San'yō Shinkansen Line running all the way from Kagoshima. There's also a short Shinkansen line in Nagasaki which in future will join up to this line. In the original network design in the 70's Shikoku was to be linked via Osaka, this plan was put on hold indefinitely.
@@Hession0Drasha Ok got you now, east kyushu and west shikoku are not big economical areas for starters, a tunnel in that area would have to be 100m deeper than the Seikan tunnel, a bridge would need to be 13km long and apparently that place has very high winds. All these things are not considered economically viable. There was a 'concept' for a bridge some time back but it stayed as a concept and never went any further. Would be 'cool' to have them linked though but for now we have to make do with the ferries.
There is a proposal of constructing the Hoyo Strait Connection between Ehime Pref. in Shikoku and Oita Pref. in Kyushu. It's actually not that feasible considering the traffic volume between these two regions are low, but they're connected by ferry. Although not feasible in the current time being, there's still a possibility as the Shikoku Shinkansen's original plan actually goes through the Hoyo Strait. The original plan is to connect Osaka and Oita through Wakayama and the to Shikoku via the Kitan Strait Crossing to Awaji Island (planned bridge or tunnel) and then to Shikoku (either utilzing the under-road section of the Naruto Great Bridge or a planned tunnel). The route will then traverse across Shikoku until reaching the west tip, and then passing the Hoyo Strait crossing (planned tunnel or bridge) to Oita before terminating in Oita City, which also has a possibility to connect to the planned Trans-Kyushu Shinkansen to Kumamoto
Based on the fact that Japan and Russia had an awful relationship even before Russia's full scale invasion of Ukraine because of territorial disputes since the Second World War probably not.
@@tobi6891 Well, Russia plans to build a rail connection to Sahalin, so it would be at least possible to ship by rail from Japan. Of course, if Russians build that bridge first.
Building this in an active quake zone remains a marvel. Experienced it in 2007. Surprised to find from Hakodate north to be all diesel. Sad to find that flights between Tokyo and Sapporo remain mostly cheaper. I wonder if the Shinkansen conversion also brought the 25kV overhead power?
Shure.Currently, the Hokkaido Shinkansen is under construction between Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto Station and Sapporo Station, and like the other sections, it will have a 25,000 volt AC, double-track track facility.

現在、青函トンネルの問題は山積みです。第1の問題はトンネルの老朽化で水漏れが以前より激しくなっています。
