Did a simple bit of maths. This is an E5 series Shinkansen. It is 253 Meters (830 feet) in length, and in this clip took roughly 3 seconds to travel its length. Dividing distance by time gives speed. So based on a train length of 253m passing in 3 seconds we do 253/3, which gives us ~84.3m/s. In everyday speed units that's 188.9mph or 304km/h
@Opecuted Well, that's how far away the train was when the guy hit record. Imagine the railway crossing barriers going down when this thing is coming? You're in Tokyo, the train is in Yokohama: beep beep beep, warning, train approaching....
These trains are unbelievable. When visiting back in 2011 we took one from Tokyo to Kyoto. It felt like you were floating across the plains and countryside. A very strange feeling.
Everyone is impressed by the train while I’m more impressed with the PA system. Even though I don’t understand Japanese, it sounds so loud and clear. Much better than the ones you hear in US.
The PA system is loud and clear, and the lady's voice is calming. Makes going to the train station a more pleasant experience. Ironically, it would also work really well in a creepy dystopian video game.

But, they have a massive sexual harassment culture and shitty mental health services, leading to decline of population and higher suicide rates. Japan is just in its gilded age.
Our grandparents went from horse and buggies to landing on the moon! As a child, my great grandparents took my grandmother from Lemon City (Years 1900 to 1915) to Cocoanut Grove in their horse and buggy. They traveled on what is now known as Biscayne Boulevard. She was not allowed to get off the buggy bc of the snakes and cougars. They never traveled at night bc it was too scary.
Japan’s railroad companies have technology to run Shinkansen faster, but Japan imposes strict safety standards to them (Japanese very worry about safety) , so it is more difficult for Shinkansen to increase the maximum operating speed compared to other high speed trains in the world. Also, Noise Regulation Act for Shinkansen prevent them from increasing speed, because residential areas are near railroad tracks in Japan! They also have to take more preparations for frequent earthquakes in Japan. Even so, Shinkansen has been increasing speed, considering safety. (For 55 years, no passenger has killed in accidents since opening in 1964.)
I don't think anyone has the technology to make the Shinkansen faster (faster than the Fuxing anyways) because of physical constraints on conventional rail vehicles. Plus there isn't a need, because a 25mph difference doesn't really result in any time savings in a compact country like Japan (not as much wide open track for the train to attain full speed).
False. In July of 2018 the first shinkansen accidental death occured when a pedestrian managed to get inside the track area and was ran over by a train. It was considered a suicide.
Such a nice train station. So modern. So clean. I love the waist-high gate- partition that are there to protect waiting passengers from falling into the tracks. I think they're supposed to automatically unlock and slide out of the way when the train pulls into the station.

I rode one in Sendai Japan. When we got up to speed I was looking out the window wondering when we were gonna actually take off. Also, need to give an honorable mention to the bullet trains going in the opposite direction as we passed each other within what seemed like inches. The noise inside the train and the pressure you could feel can only be experienced and not explained.
Been lucky enough to travel on these several times, the speed is unreal. On one stretch on the way to Nagano we passed a long stretch of regularly spaced utility poles, and the train was going so fast that it created the optical illusion of one single pole slowly moving forward in relation to the train.

Timothy Lampel some people don’t have to waste their life to please people who can’t spare two minutes, or be smart and skip to the time they see the train.. He’s done nothing wrong.
Rode that beast before and it is as advertised. It’s so fast that once it reaches its top speeds looking out the window it’s like seeing a single still image of a blur.
@@em945 good question. I didn’t suffer from nausea but I could see how someone could though. It’s so fast you don’t have time to suffer from anything but exhilaration 🤣. The ride is very smooth and it builds up to its top speeds and eases down gradually as well. So it doesn’t start out like a bolt of lightning and I believe it takes at least a mile or more to build up and slow down.
They're heavily staffed with all kinds of station guards at all hours. American just lets 3 transit cops deal with a central hub after 10pm then gets shocked when there's stabbings and drug deals.
I had this experience once standing at a platform similar to this one just outside Tokyo. The video is good, but nothing can fully replicate the live experience with the noise and wind force. There was a bunch of us, and even though we were expecting it, after it passed everyone was laughing OMG with relief, that's how overwhelming it is.
In a field at night in new mexico, it is dark dark dark. The traintracks run along the rio grande. you hear some insects buzzing, some wiffles of a breeze, mesquites soft rattles. So you wait, near the tracks, no barriers ,no lights. you can feel the air changing pressure around you, and you look around, seeing nothing. then like a bolt of lightning, an explosive crack of thunder, the ground shaking so hard you are losing your balance. then you realize its a freight train, screaming by, sparks like fireworks shooting out from the wheels grinding the tracks. the roar of the wind trapped by the miles of rail cars plummets your ears,the cars loom 40 feet high, that your entire scope of vision is being blasted on off on off, you are physically and mentally locked in place. it never ends, the sheer cacophony building higher and higher. every part of your body is assaulted by the noise, the sparking metals smell of oil and with a hard hot blast of wind the last car vanishes, the desert is once again silent, and dark.
My family just came back from Kakegawa in Shizuoka so we were taking the Kodama, or slow train which stops at every station. Almost every station we had to wait for the Nozomi to pass before we could continue. We usually had to wait only a few minutes, but still, that meant that the next train was literally seconds behind us as we stopped at a station. It really is an incredible system. And it runs like this 365 days a year with train passing on average every 5-10 minutes. (Kodama, Hikari, Nozomi).
@@kimjongoof5000 Wow then the train length becomes 250 meters which has passed the station in 3 seconds, then the speed is around 300 kilometer per hour. what a fast train.....
@@Me-fu7nw I don't know if it's still true, but it used to be. When the Intercity 225 was introduced, the claim was made - and I believe it - we (Britain) run more trains at over a hundred miles an hour, than any other country, in the world. And trains are faster, quieter and longer than they used to be. Your complaint really irritates me, because you either know nothing about it, or you know nothing about railways elsewhere. That 300kmh train is running on a special track - a whole, new railway, if you like. The design parameters for the elevation profile is a straight line drawn between two points. The design parameters for the route location, is more or less a straight line drawn between two points. Nothing is allowed to get in its way, nothing. The signalling is designed exclusively for trains traveling at 300kmh. That train did not have a 70kmh freight train 30 minutes in front of it, a 120kmh commuter train twenty minutes in front of it or a 200kmh express passenger train crossing five minutes in front of it. In fact, there is almost certainly nothing in front of it that isn't traveling at 300kmh. Our railways were built anywhere from about 1830 onwards and their routes haven't changed since. The curves have been eased in places and the superelevation has changed for faster trains. We even developed tilting trains so they could go faster still, but the press and British Managerial incompetence swept all that away and now, forty years later, we buy the bloody things from Italy! We have a railway system that still runs an awful lot of trains at over 100mph, interspersed with 45mph freight trains, 75mph local trains, stopping every 5 to 10 miles, 75 mph freight trains, 100 mph express and 125 mph express trains. Plus the odd 75 mph steam hauled excursion trains and you can count those on the thumbs of one hand in Japan. Yes, the Japanese have a really good rail system, but it isn't perfect and it isn't cheap. Just like ours in many ways, but we've only got one, dedicated high speed line and that is awesome. Please don't gauge our local trains by a dedicated, very high speed railway. There is no, fair comparison.
The Tohoku Shinkansen is exactly 253 meters long from the front coupling to the rear coupling. The video was recorded at 30 frames per second. The train needed exactly 87 pictures on the picture to pass the picture section from the coupling in the front to the coupling in the back. This means that it only took him 2.9 seconds to travel 253 meters. That corresponds to a speed of 314 km / h or 195 mph 😉
@@MCowie that was really 87 pictures. At this speed, the end of the train can still be seen at picture 87 ... but can no longer be seen at picture 88. That's why I wrote 87 and not 88 😁
It´s a bit different from Canadian freight-trains. 3 engines, 50+cars then 2 more engines and then another 50+ cars all moving att about 60-70 km/hour. That movie would take most part of an afternoon... I live in Sweden, so don´t take my speedvalues too hard. I´ve been to Canada´s rockies once, so this is how I remebers it.
Trains are one of the best things humans have ever invented. They don't waste heaps of space, create city wide permanent noise, smell bad or create congestion the way cars do or make cities bad to live in. Yet they were the older technology.
And, intercity trains usually take people from the center of one city to the center of another. Air travel usually takes people from the distant airport of one city to the remote airport another city. Trains are intercity. Air travel is inter-airport.
In France there are a few stations where we can see TGVs zooming through at 300kph. However, they pass through dedicated bypass lanes, at least a few meters away from any platform, so it's never as impressive.
There’s a place near my Mother’s house in Burgundy where you can stand on a bridge while they zoom just below you, and that’s pretty intense. It’s a busy line, too, about one every five minutes in summer.
i remember a few years ago my school went on a week long trip to the south of france, I must have been ten at the time, and the station we were waiting at to return to paris was sunk into a trench. the main station building was onto of the trench forming a tunnel like the station in this video. there was a central track that was kept seperate from the boarding ones via a short wall, and while we were waiting a train blew by at top speed. The noise it produced was absolutely deafening, people were complaining that it hurt their ears, but it left such an impression on me. probably one of the reasons I love trains so much now.
It's funny for me since in Belgrade when waiting for SOKO which is 200kph train I get occasionally scared by the bypassing 120kph ones as they are so loud that my eardrums die (Ground shakes too sometimes) it makes my heart race so hard, while when SOKO is passing it's quiet, well it makes sense since it's quite a new Stadler KISS.
As someone from a third world nowhere, never in my lifetime will we ever experience such marvel. It's crazy how advanced the world is, to be able to create something so fast and efficient like this.
Don't give up hope, plenty of "third world" countries can have HSR. China did it. ( back in 2008 when no one else had any faith they would). Arabia did it. Indonesia is about to get it. India is getting it in a few years. Morocco did it. Yep, even fckn Africa has better HSR than my good old USA now.
I lived in Japan for a few years. Brings back memories of all the sounds the station makes when a train is in bound, plus the announcements they make. Everything about Japan is great. It’s clean, it’s organized, it’s friendly. It’s just all put together so well.
@@till4866 Hey, I know of another long and narrow country where people actively protest against having trains like this. And that one doesn't have any real mountain ranges, volcanoes or earthquakes.
I’ve visited Japan a few times and caught this train. Fantastic. Loved it. I regularly fly from Sydney to Adelaide and if we had these trains I would never fly again. Very comfortable way to travel.
Rather impressive. Though it was a bit of a wait to see the train, I like the waiting because he started videoing when the train was 7.5 kilometers away. It really gave me a sense of how quickly that distance can be covered.
0:51 thank-you to the lady intentionally walking to stay in the camera shot, to show what people should do when the train passes to protect their ears.
This train is about 830’ long. For reference, the RMS Titanic was 890’ long. Imagine something nearly as long as the Titanic passing by you in three seconds.
Everyone is complaining about the short wait before the train passes, but it is good filmmaking! It builds the suspense, especially with how silent it is except that voice haha
This guy has in his clips what i still need to master in my music: tension. And that by just letting you wait for the fact stated in the title. Masterpiece.
As a German I'm used to ICE trains dashing through the station at 300 kph, it is really intimidating. the ICE train is actually able to catch up with the shinkansen when it comes to speed, on the TGV tracks in France it can even reach 320 kph. The fastest speed I went in Germany was 305 kph (it is sometimes shown on the train information system, I did not check it via GPS). What really makes a difference for me is the design of the Shinkansen trains. It is really iconic and I was extremely impressed when one of these trains arrived on the platform and I could see it in reality for the first time. Next time I will try to ride the Tohoku Shinkansen.
In Australia we still have suburban trains running at 60 kph, the same speed as steam trains in the 19th century! Even the higher speedtrains between cities are very slow, the XPT tops out at 160 kph, but often has to go slower because of certain sections not being capable of supporting those speeds. The train ironically could travel up to 200 kph, which is not bad, but the rail infrastructure doesn't allow it.
Yeah the European high speed routes tend to just have 4 tracks 2 through tracks where they pass at speed and the 2 tracks with the platforms for stopping trains to keep the walking talking fleshy blood bags away, platform edge doors are common on metro systems though.
I've riden that train being filmed in this video on the way to Hokkaido. Didn't know it goes THAT fast from the outside! I can't wait to go back to Japan and experience riding these amazing bullet trains all over again..
@@REXXSEVEN I was wrong....partly.The shinkansen has been designed to pass through residential areas and hence it makes very less noise.That must be the biggest contributing factor to its relative silence on approach.
Personally, I don't see why so many people are so fixated on clipping this video down. I like the glimpse into everyday Japanese life. 10 second videos on repeat for the adderall addicted.
This isn’t everyday Japanese life lol. You don’t see a Shinkansen shooting by at 300km everyday 😅 This looks to be between Morioka and Aomori somewhere. But I could be wrong on that.
Zoom!!!!!! Comin at Ya!!!! I wonder how loud that train really is when it passes by. I noticed the one older lady had her hands over her ears as she walked by the camera. Thanks for the video.
Kuddos to the uploader. Gives you plenty of time to read the comments while waiting for the train Edit: you know what? That sounds like you waiting for an actual train
What a contrast with the UK I am a Brit but lived in Japan for a couple of years and travelled on these trains. Really comfortable inside too..wonderful trains.
E5 can speed up to 320km/h, thats the amazing part of it... I kinda miss E2 and doble decker E4. and your friend is better not to lean on home door next time for safety and not to stop them...
1:31 in two seconds it will take about 1,300 people to pass. If it was a 2 lane highway it would take 15 minutes for the same amount of people to pass.
For the pple that don’t know: this is Japan. The Shinkansen is the fastest train in the world. Japan’s always has the cleanest stations and transportation bc they actually do care for their riders, and for their seniors. Respect is their tradition. Im fron NYC, and it still shocks me how clean and beautiful Japanese cities are and how they go by beautiful manners while in public. Sure there are some exceptions but, this is what japan always will win(other then their technology). I wish all American cities were like this. 🤘😎🌸

Rode that beast before and it is as advertised. It’s so fast that once it reaches its top speeds looking out the window it’s like seeing a single still image of a blur.
Do some people get nausea, or any discomfort?
You can see things in the distant, but up close....nothing!
@@em945 good question. I didn’t suffer from nausea but I could see how someone could though. It’s so fast you don’t have time to suffer from anything but exhilaration 🤣. The ride is very smooth and it builds up to its top speeds and eases down gradually as well. So it doesn’t start out like a bolt of lightning and I believe it takes at least a mile or more to build up and slow down.

They're heavily staffed with all kinds of station guards at all hours. American just lets 3 transit cops deal with a central hub after 10pm then gets shocked when there's stabbings and drug deals.
Japan is super clean. Visited there before and not once did I ever see trash or litter.
I had this experience once standing at a platform similar to this one just outside Tokyo. The video is good, but nothing can fully replicate the live experience with the noise and wind force. There was a bunch of us, and even though we were expecting it, after it passed everyone was laughing OMG with relief, that's how overwhelming it is.
In a field at night in new mexico, it is dark dark dark. The traintracks run along the rio grande. you hear some insects buzzing, some wiffles of a breeze, mesquites soft rattles. So you wait, near the tracks, no barriers ,no lights. you can feel the air changing pressure around you, and you look around, seeing nothing. then like a bolt of lightning, an explosive crack of thunder, the ground shaking so hard you are losing your balance. then you realize its a freight train, screaming by, sparks like fireworks shooting out from the wheels grinding the tracks. the roar of the wind trapped by the miles of rail cars plummets your ears,the cars loom 40 feet high, that your entire scope of vision is being blasted on off on off, you are physically and mentally locked in place. it never ends, the sheer cacophony building higher and higher. every part of your body is assaulted by the noise, the sparking metals smell of oil and with a hard hot blast of wind the last car vanishes, the desert is once again silent, and dark.

@@maitele I know!!!! That’s the funnest part. Happy New Years!
I can believe it.
My family just came back from Kakegawa in Shizuoka so we were taking the Kodama, or slow train which stops at every station. Almost every station we had to wait for the Nozomi to pass before we could continue. We usually had to wait only a few minutes, but still, that meant that the next train was literally seconds behind us as we stopped at a station. It really is an incredible system. And it runs like this 365 days a year with train passing on average every 5-10 minutes. (Kodama, Hikari, Nozomi).
I was in Japan a few years back and loved the fast and hyper efficient Japanese train system (& stations).
The E5 shinkansen with 8 cars length is 200 meters have passed the station in 3 seconds.
The speed is around 240 kilometer per hour.
Akekamol Rojanahasadin
It has 10 cars
CMP A Yes.
@@kimjongoof5000 Wow then the train length becomes 250 meters which has passed the station in 3 seconds, then the speed is around 300 kilometer per hour.
what a fast train.....
I think that is very, very impressive.
Unlike the slow trains here in the UK.
@@Me-fu7nw I don't know if it's still true, but it used to be. When the Intercity 225 was introduced, the claim was made - and I believe it - we (Britain) run more trains at over a hundred miles an hour, than any other country, in the world. And trains are faster, quieter and longer than they used to be.
Your complaint really irritates me, because you either know nothing about it, or you know nothing about railways elsewhere. That 300kmh train is running on a special track - a whole, new railway, if you like. The design parameters for the elevation profile is a straight line drawn between two points. The design parameters for the route location, is more or less a straight line drawn between two points. Nothing is allowed to get in its way, nothing.
The signalling is designed exclusively for trains traveling at 300kmh. That train did not have a 70kmh freight train 30 minutes in front of it, a 120kmh commuter train twenty minutes in front of it or a 200kmh express passenger train crossing five minutes in front of it. In fact, there is almost certainly nothing in front of it that isn't traveling at 300kmh.
Our railways were built anywhere from about 1830 onwards and their routes haven't changed since. The curves have been eased in places and the superelevation has changed for faster trains. We even developed tilting trains so they could go faster still, but the press and British Managerial incompetence swept all that away and now, forty years later, we buy the bloody things from Italy!
We have a railway system that still runs an awful lot of trains at over 100mph, interspersed with 45mph freight trains, 75mph local trains, stopping every 5 to 10 miles, 75 mph freight trains, 100 mph express and 125 mph express trains. Plus the odd 75 mph steam hauled excursion trains and you can count those on the thumbs of one hand in Japan.
Yes, the Japanese have a really good rail system, but it isn't perfect and it isn't cheap. Just like ours in many ways, but we've only got one, dedicated high speed line and that is awesome. Please don't gauge our local trains by a dedicated, very high speed railway. There is no, fair comparison.
I remember visiting Japan and their public transportation is so unbelievable... Absolutely awesome!!
Yes. Because American mass transit is garbage. Crappy old trains vandalized with graffiti, dirty seats and filthy bathrooms.
The Tohoku Shinkansen is exactly 253 meters long from the front coupling to the rear coupling. The video was recorded at 30 frames per second. The train needed exactly 87 pictures on the picture to pass the picture section from the coupling in the front to the coupling in the back. This means that it only took him 2.9 seconds to travel 253 meters. That corresponds to a speed of 314 km / h or 195 mph 😉
I would swear that was 88 frames. :)
@@MCowie that was really 87 pictures. At this speed, the end of the train can still be seen at picture 87 ... but can no longer be seen at picture 88. That's why I wrote 87 and not 88 😁
@@3d-marabu Lol. I trust your math.
It´s a bit different from Canadian freight-trains. 3 engines, 50+cars then 2 more engines and then another 50+ cars all moving att about 60-70 km/hour. That movie would take most part of an afternoon... I live in Sweden, so don´t take my speedvalues too hard. I´ve been to Canada´s rockies once, so this is how I remebers it.
@3D-Marabu nobody will deny after this that you are a man of science!:-) I never thought about the frame counting. Very clever!
Trains are one of the best things humans have ever invented. They don't waste heaps of space, create city wide permanent noise, smell bad or create congestion the way cars do or make cities bad to live in. Yet they were the older technology.
And, intercity trains usually take people from the center of one city to the center of another. Air travel usually takes people from the distant airport of one city to the remote airport another city. Trains are intercity. Air travel is inter-airport.
@@johnstuartsmith Correct, I had the choice between plane and Shinkansen (prices were nearly identical) and chose the train.
In France there are a few stations where we can see TGVs zooming through at 300kph. However, they pass through dedicated bypass lanes, at least a few meters away from any platform, so it's never as impressive.
There’s a place near my Mother’s house in Burgundy where you can stand on a bridge while they zoom just below you, and that’s pretty intense. It’s a busy line, too, about one every five minutes in summer.
@@Rufusdos vers Tonnerre ?
No, there are stations where you can be on the platform. I saw it in Lorraine TGV and Meuse TGV
GARE DES BETTERAVES (TGV Haute Picardie), most trains go through at full speed........being on the platform there is an experience worth having.
i remember a few years ago my school went on a week long trip to the south of france, I must have been ten at the time, and the station we were waiting at to return to paris was sunk into a trench. the main station building was onto of the trench forming a tunnel like the station in this video. there was a central track that was kept seperate from the boarding ones via a short wall, and while we were waiting a train blew by at top speed.
The noise it produced was absolutely deafening, people were complaining that it hurt their ears, but it left such an impression on me. probably one of the reasons I love trains so much now.
For a train that fast....it’s super silent!!....great engineering right there🙌🏼
Indeed
Did honda or toyota make it’s
Hitachi and Kawasaki.
It's funny for me since in Belgrade when waiting for SOKO which is 200kph train I get occasionally scared by the bypassing 120kph ones as they are so loud that my eardrums die (Ground shakes too sometimes) it makes my heart race so hard, while when SOKO is passing it's quiet, well it makes sense since it's quite a new Stadler KISS.
Increase your volume, you'll know how "silent" it is even at that speed.
As someone from a third world nowhere, never in my lifetime will we ever experience such marvel. It's crazy how advanced the world is, to be able to create something so fast and efficient like this.
Japan is incredible.
Don't give up hope, plenty of "third world" countries can have HSR. China did it. ( back in 2008 when no one else had any faith they would). Arabia did it. Indonesia is about to get it. India is getting it in a few years. Morocco did it. Yep, even fckn Africa has better HSR than my good old USA now.
I live in the US, and I'm pretty sure we will never have such a marvel of engineering in our country. And the reasons why make me pretty angry.
@@valosonthorwe actually have some "bullet trains" but not nearly as fast as our Japanese friends.

Yeah. The anticipation really adds to it too.
Wow that was amazing! Starts at 1:30

Everything about Japan is great. It’s clean, it’s organized, it’s friendly. It’s just all put together so well.
That's why they don't want immigration so as not to ruin their civilised culture with others

@@jorbayojomdomcheung because the maintenance of the track is non existent. lol.

Molten Lava we just have normal trains. They are very beautiful, but of course not as extreme as the Shinkansen.
Netherlands ?! Wait to you see Romania ! =))))
This guy has in his clips what i still need to master in my music: tension. And that by just letting you wait for the fact stated in the title. Masterpiece.
As a German I'm used to ICE trains dashing through the station at 300 kph, it is really intimidating. the ICE train is actually able to catch up with the shinkansen when it comes to speed, on the TGV tracks in France it can even reach 320 kph. The fastest speed I went in Germany was 305 kph (it is sometimes shown on the train information system, I did not check it via GPS). What really makes a difference for me is the design of the Shinkansen trains. It is really iconic and I was extremely impressed when one of these trains arrived on the platform and I could see it in reality for the first time. Next time I will try to ride the Tohoku Shinkansen.

In Australia we still have suburban trains running at 60 kph, the same speed as steam trains in the 19th century! Even the higher speedtrains between cities are very slow, the XPT tops out at 160 kph, but often has to go slower because of certain sections not being capable of supporting those speeds. The train ironically could travel up to 200 kph, which is not bad, but the rail infrastructure doesn't allow it.

The barrier between the platform and tracks is actually a great idea that I’ve never seen before
Yeah the European high speed routes tend to just have 4 tracks 2 through tracks where they pass at speed and the 2 tracks with the platforms for stopping trains to keep the walking talking fleshy blood bags away, platform edge doors are common on metro systems though.
@Opecuted yeah they tend to turn into a fine mist for some reason 🤔
They also have those in Japan. That station is an exception.
