2023: plenty of large cities in America are still a short high speed rail journey away from each other and yet americans have to fly because there is no alternative train.
@@rosaria8384 It's our love of independence through use of the automobile. You wanna ride public transportation, go for it. I prefer not to become a victim!
A view of what could have been. Same time this was filmed, the SF BART system was being built and is no where near as well done; loud, bumpy, slow, trains that are late and broken down far too often and tracks that seemingly are maintained to make for the loudest ride possible through populated areas(can hear the trains scream from well over a mile away).
I've ridden the Shinkansen several times and it's such a great experience. It was also incredibly cool to stand on a platform when the Shinkansen went through the station at full speed. Even two or three tracks away from the platform I was standing on, it's speed was amazing.
I wish we had a way to emulate Japan's desire to build a system like this, with their commitment to meticulous maintenance, and no-excuses punctuality.
더 시대 저 당시에 최첨단성능좋은 기차를 운용했다는것이 놀랍고,현재는 30년 격차로 한국을 앞서나가는 것에 더욱 놀랍습니다. 기술력과 노하우 어느하나 새롭게 발전시켜서 지금은 선진국 반열을 뛰어넘어서 세계1위를 지켜나가는 일본이 대단하다고 생각듭니다.우리도 선진국에 30년정도 뒤쳐지지만 더욱 노력하고 발전시키고,선진국의 기술력을 배우고,받아드려서 우리것으로 더욱 발전시켜 나아가야 할것입니다. 그러려면 피나는 노력과 인내/그리고 최선을 다하는 마음과 모습이 반드시 필요합니다.
Not realistic to transport most freight at those speeds. It could be done in theory, but it would require a complete reengineering of existing freight methods and infrastructure.
@periscopefilm The ticket shown starting at 1:48 has the Japanese date Showa 51.12.10. = December 10, 1976, the purchase date for a trip taking place on 12/15. The cost of the ticket was ¥18,000, about US$61. Unfortunately I couldn't tell on the ticket where the woman was traveling to or from, but it must be from Tokyo to Hakata because we see her alighting the train there. 🙂 I spent a few summers in Yokohama as a kid, and I rode the Shinkansen in 1970 from Shin-Yokohama to Osaka to visit Expo '70.
My first trip abroad in 2001 I snuck onto the Osaka to Tokyo trip w/o paying. They pulled me off in Tokyo and put and me in a little room and yelled at me in Japanese for 90min then let me go.
1964 Japan: 150mph bullet train
2023 America: We'll we've got a plan
2023 America: still 24 times larger than Japan. That’s why we fly.

1980's Britain: Age of the 🚆
It's quite bizarre how US and public transport don't mix well...

I took this very train from Hiroshima to Tokyo and back in 1976. It was a nice trip and I quite enjoyed it.
Amazing Japanese efficiency.

And full of mentally ill homeless people while the Shinkansen doesn’t see many homeless
the sound track for this film didn't need to be so good but I'm glad it was.

Love this! Thanks
Japan is almost unrecognizable compared to this film now. Arguably the most technologically advanced country in the world now.
6:37 Never mind the train. Check out that watch.
Nice time piece!
Wow, this is a very precious and wonderful record.
Thank you for uploading.
4:06 "There has never been a passenger accident on the Shinkansen.." Same today - 50 years later
3:19 dig that pimp music there!
I can't help but notice that the woman is stylish af. I love her hair and outfit in the train.
We should all have these trains behind our infrastructure. Being able to transport goods at 300mph+ is just a no brainer.
The high speed trains are only for people, they made space on the old and slow lines for freight.
Not realistic to transport most freight at those speeds. It could be done in theory, but it would require a complete reengineering of existing freight methods and infrastructure.
These trains were for the people only, and are mostly restricted to 200 mph

0:35 It's Been 60 Years Since The Japanese Bullet Train Began In 1964 In The Late 1960's In The 20th Century. Thanks Mate. X❤🚅🎉
Someone send PeteBootyjudge to Japan so he can learn how to run a rail system.

Men watch real history 😊❤
Is the narrator Paul Frees? It sounds like him.
Can I use your videos small clip in my video?
Does anyone know who the narrator is? Someone well known?
My first trip abroad in 2001 I snuck onto the Osaka to Tokyo trip w/o paying.

Why did not you pay? Why would you disrespect their laws?

Just dumb gaijin things I guess?
