I don't know if it's posted here or not, but there's a good video on youtube somewhere recorded from inside an overnight train as it gets overtaken by an M250 (both trains are in motion, the M250 is just that much faster)

I find overnight passenger trains in Japan, as elsewhere, often tend to run at slower speeds both for the passengers comfort and to arrive at the destination at a more civilised time.

Yes, riding the Blue Trains on the Tokaido Line (alas, running no longer), I would be often awakened by a passing freight train while stopped at stations like Shizuoka or Hamamatsu.  It was an unusual sensation in Japan to be in a passenger train pulled over to let a higher priority freight pass by.  Of course, this is normal in the U.S. :icon_tongue:
