Tokaido Shinkansen night testing 360km/h- lineside at night and in the rain
bikkuri bahn posted a topic in Japan Rail: News & General Discussion
Footage from earlier this year of the testing done between Maibara and Kyoto, at speeds up to 360km/h. Note how appreciably different the passing speed is between the revenue service top speed of 285 km/h and the trial 360 km/h. The nighttime environment is also nicely atmospheric. -
JR Central - hybrid limited express type in 2019
miyakoji posted a topic in Japan Rail: News & General Discussion
Some fresh electrons from Railfan News: by the end of 2019, JR Central will have a hybrid 4-car test formation. This will be a 4-car limited express type, which, if all goes well, will replace the KIHA85 someday. The KIHA85 is currently used on the Hida and Nanki services. JRC intends this to be the first Japanese hybrid to have an operational top speed of 120km/h. As I understand the article, batteries will be charged by both a diesel with alternator as well as regenerative braking. EMU-style traction motors will draw power from those batteries to propel the cars. This will reduce bo -

Hokuriku Shinkansen Maibara routing "difficult"- JR Tokai
bikkuri bahn posted a topic in Japan Rail: News & General Discussion
The president of JR Tokai, Mr. Kouei Tsuge, on Monday stated that a routing of the Hokuriku Shinkansen from Tsuruga to Shin-Osaka on eastern side Biwa Lake routing of the Tokaido Shinkansen via Maibara would be extremely difficult given the congestion of existing traffic on that line. Also, the desire among Kansai business interests to have the Chuo Shinkansen (maglev) route from Nagoya to Osaka opened concurrently with the Hokuriku Shinkansen extension was deemed outright impossible by the president. http://www.sankei.com/west/news/150707/wst1507070037-n1.html- 17 replies

Tokaido Shinkansen to begin 285km/h operation next month
bikkuri bahn posted a topic in Japan Rail: News & General Discussion
With the spring timetable revision coming into effect March 14, maximum operating speed on the Tokaido Shinkansen will be raised from 270 to 285km/h. An exhibition run with passengers was carried out this Wednesday. The top speed of 285km/h was reached at eight locations between Toyohashi and Mikawa Anjo Stations. With the new schedule 1 train per hour will be run at the higher max speed. The journey time between Tokyo and Shin Osaka will be shortened by three minutes. http://www3.nhk.or.jp/news/html/20150225/k10015737711000.html- 2 replies

Tokaido Shinkansen speed up in spring 2015
bikkuri bahn posted a topic in Japan Rail: News & General Discussion
http://ajw.asahi.com/article/behind_news/social_affairs/AJ201409180073 *not mentioned here, but mentioned in the original Japanese print article, the actual main purpose of the speed-up is not to reduce the total travel time (though that is the general public advertising point) , but rather to facilitate faster timetable recovery in instances of accidents, bad weather, etc. Back in JNR days, the average delay in shinkansen services (in one year) typically ranged over two minutes, while this past decade, this has been reduced to under a minute- in the case of 2003, six seconds. However, l- 16 replies

Another excellent video (like the Nankai one) produced by jiyuukimamanatetsudodouga, this time from the up direction platforms at Matsuzaka Station, on the Kintetsu Yamada Line. Some notables: -5200 series box seat stock used on express services, this type is common on this and the Nagoya Line. Less common on the Osaka Line, as the seating arrangement is inappropriate for rush hour crowding prevalent on that line on the inner urban portions. Many of the express services from Nagoya terminate at Matsuzaka, utilizing the middle road as the arrival track. -note the relatively sparse services o

JR Tokai 117 series on route to scrapping
bikkuri bahn posted a topic in Japan Rail: News & General Discussion
Location is Tokaido Main Line between Araimachi and Bentenjima, the body of water is the entrance to Lake Hamana. Train originated in Ogaki, bound for Nishi Hamamatsu for a date with the scrapper. Apparently one of the pair of these trainsets has run the previous day on a charter- JR Tokai got its money's worth on these trains to the end.- 5 replies

Spring is still some two months away where I am, and thoughts drift to scenes of greenery and life, rather than the deathly silent white outside my window... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LfjRORnvBA *the clouds move across a perfect blue sky, rice fields swaying with the summer breeze, the cry of the insects, and heavy traffic on the Tokaido Line somewhere in the Tokai region- what a nice scene... by the same contributor, light not as nice with the heavier cloud cover, but at 0:30 you see the Toyota Long Pass Express pass by, some Nittsu 31ft Big Echo Liner containers are mixed i
