  • Railways deliver the power to move people, freight, armies, and raw materials. They also have the technology to do it fast. In this episode we investigate the high speed trains that link cities, the futuristic visions of magnetic levitation and pods, and tell the story of engineering marvels from the longest train to a miniature wonderland.

    H5 is based on Fastech360S, the latest model of 700 Series is N700S
    Considering the time of making this documentary, N700A was the latest model at that time (If earlier than 7Jan2020).
    Shinkansen systems of Tokyo-to-West and Tokyo-to-East are separated, also the train development due to different criteria.

    Love your train videos which are very informative and interesting even to a confirmed train buff like myself. I've subscribed to the Spark Channel and look forward to many more intriguing documentaries on the subjects of railroads and advancing high speed passenger train technology.
    in the interests of accuracy I feel compelled to point out that "maglev" trains do not rely on "magnetic attraction" to suspend the vehicles vertically above the underlying surface, or to guide and center the train between the walls of the maglev channel horizontally as asserted in your narration. On the contrary, the property of "magnetic repulsion" is harnessed for those two essential functions necessary to both suspend and guide the train. Rapidly alternating magnetic attraction and repulsion are both used to push/pull the train by the principle of linear motor propulsion.

    In US, they plied up the the number of locomotives to operate train to over 5 km in length wonder if the freight trains could maintain speed of 350 km per hour over long distances. Although China had experimented with such a unit with capacity of 1,500 tons equivalent to average weight of 100 TEUs which is about the capacity of most EU freight trains at the moment but incomparable to the freight trains that transverse the North America continent.
    At 350 kmph, it looks like air freight won't compete across the Eurasian landmass! What an impact to all those countries located within the landmass!!!

      Unfortunately mostly true. While there are many commuter trains, the reality is trains that go any distance are more like romantic memories, plenty of people love them, but for others the trip isn't worth it. Want to go from San Francisco to New York, it'll take 3 and a half days by train versus about 7 hours by plane, and the cost is about the same. California has showed why high speed rail just won't work either, the people voted to approve it, and there was a plan in place, however lawsuits from people not wanting it have unfortunately cost well in excess what the cost of the train line (from San Francisco to LA roughly) was supposed to cost. Basically too many forces (i.e. people with more money than sense) pushing back against the idea.

    Japan is indeed very "experienced" in the high speed rail industry for many decades
    "experience" is calculated from the number of trips as well as the number of passengers carried during the operating period
    "experience" serves as the basis for the further improvement and development of technology
    it is undeniable that China is actively catching up with the "experience" of Japan even for a brief period due to the large high speed rail network in operation
    technology is not only limited to invention but also continuous improvement and development based on "experience" gained during operation
    you can't purposely exclude China in this regard because of political & ideological differences

    What a irresponsible thing to do. With nothing to achieve. 500km/hour is wow and says what role coal beautiful coal played in that and 3.2.billion passengers. One small part of the world. Soon there will be a choice to face with you being able to pick a side. Still can't beat the sound of steam engine

    I don't think that the MAGLEV is a train as it doesn't have wheels nor rails, if we do not count the MAGLEV, the TGV hold the record at 574.8 KM/H, I'm not patriotic but it is something that I musn't be alone to think.
    PS: I'm being very patriotic!

      *The Gautrain is NOT "high speed". The fastest speed of the Gautrain is 160km/h which is NOT high speed.*
