Wow that zooms by, it's hard to count how many cars are in the configuration.

I must be having a "brain freeze" I didn't pickup that the head and tail car are different in design. I wonder if it matters which car goes in first into a tunnel to lessen the tunnel boom?

LOL... you sure did, we had a long conversation about that item a month ago or so.

 

But I don't know how the Shinkansen has to be oriented for the tunnel because than it means that they have to return the whole train to make it run again the bullet shape end first...

There isn't one end that's supposed to be "first"; they don't turn the train. The whole idea was to be able test two different nose designs without having to build two different trains :D
