shinkansen's are an amazing train i rode the n700 in 2017 i wish i experienced the 0 series...
新幹線🚅は今年2024年10月1日に開業60年を迎えます。😊❤🎉
God blesses those who look ahead!
Japan's Tokaido-Sanyo corridor has been changed so much since the time of footage, so as the Shinkansen. When I visit Japan, I really enjoyed Shinkansen so much. Incredible combination of speed, frequency, ride quality, comfort, and punctuality. Such a significant performance improvement of the current Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen fleet over the 0 series. What a progression. The ability to run 35.7% faster (285 km/h) on other straighter sections, tilt to run 31% faster (275 km/h) on curves considered tight for bullet trains, and accelerate 260% faster (2.6 km/h per second) compared to 0 series allows the current Tokaido Shinkansen fleet (now having just N700A and N700S) to maintain high average speed and make Nozomi runs over 515.4 km between Tokyo and Shin-Osaka in consistently below 2 hours 30 minutes (averaging at least 206.16 km/h, which is highly incredible as it approaches 210 km/h, the top speed number of 0 series) according to current schedule that is made with N700A & N700S performance levels in mind that has been possible since JR Central has retired the old 700 series back in 2020. When combined with ability to run 42.9% faster (300 km/h) on Sanyo Shinkansen, that level of performance also enabled the final Tokyo-bound daily train, Nozomi no.64, to cover 1069.1 km distance of the entire Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen course from Hakata to Tokyo, which the original 0 series needed 7 hours to do so, in just an incredible 4 hours 46 minutes (averaging at 224.29 km/h; which is so incredible as that number is higher than the 210 km/h top speed of 0 Series), and majority of other Nozomi services that run over that entire course between Tokyo and Hakata can cover the same distance in below 5 hours (averaging at least 213.82 km/h, also higher than top speed of 0 series) with one extra stop on Sanyo Shinkansen section, which can be Himeji, Fukuyama, Tokuyama, or Shin-Yamaguchi depending on particular service, over Nozomi no.64 that stop "only" at Kokura, Hiroshima, Okayama, Shin-Kobe, Shin-Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, Shin-Yokohama, and Shinagawa along the way.
Train in japan
Punctuality and cleanliness must mystify British visitors. I am sure they believe it to be of some kind of black magic, witchcraft or mysterious technology from centuries in the future. Simply impossible to imitate or achieve for themselves. How sad…
at 20:13 what is that noise called in Japanese?
I believe that’s the departure alarm system to let people on the platform know the doors will be closing and the train will be leaving momentarily
Ian M priceless despite the resolution a great video capture we know the territory very well in detail before Sleeps Hill Tunnel and up along Sheoak Road before Fosters Corner. Love the individuals saying yay! The old The Overland broad gauge days. Alco twin single cab powering along with 967 ANR in the lead originally numbered unit 930 with SAR construction 1955 still powering along in 1988! A great catch last days for SAR Class leader 930 damaged after a shunting incident in 1989. I did the last broad gauge The Overland in 1994 with my car onboard. First Class Sleeper breakfast and newspaper. Trip was too short love train travel on the broad gauge The Overland overnight and daily. My car was washed on arrival as well! Super service. Ansett 727.
The British Gai Jin acts as if he has some culture. Of course the world knows that among the three big island nations there is only one which can claim this to be true.
I am so happy that I grew up seeing this design. But on the other hand it hurts to see the ugly tasteless modern trash.
博多まで開通したのは1975年ですので、この映像は1970年ではなく75年以降の物ですね。
Before Adelaide metro. Weird seeing no metro line
Even in 1970 the modernity of the Shinkansen and Japan is stunning to see - it went from a nation reeling from destruction after World War II to one of the richest & most developed nations in the world in the 25 years before this film. It's incredible that Japan over 50 years ago resembled a more modern & advanced place than some places today.
Fact. XP 2000 was involved in the Wallan derailment it was still on the track still and another carrage

hello Ian M, I'm admin of the modelkitindo channel, I ask permission to hanging this video on my channel as a teaser, and I will enclose your channel name on the video and link in description ... thank you
all went downhill when NRs were introduced I assume
How did they get such perfect Hammond music for these old films? Was it prerecorded, or was the recording artist given working cuts for which to compose a score?
This is amazing, my son loves the Shinkansen
In a little while, JR East will release the ALFA-X next-generation Shinkansen.
The Shinkansen is a high-speed railway created entirely from Japan's own aircraft manufacturing, and Japan has come to this point in the 19th year since the end of the war. It is fast, safe, accurate and easy to use, unrivaled by the technology of other developed countries. A Japanese-like vehicle born for the Japanese
Ticking drives me nuts
Its the Hasler recorder
It records anything the XP power cars do from the front and rear of the train
One Olympiad to another: the Shinkansen debuted in 1964, when Tokyo hosted the Games; 57 years later, just athletes, delegates & officials can board. Next year: the film, "Bullet Train", starring Brad Pitt, is filmed in Tokyo & L.A.
In my opinion the original ‘Bullet Train’ from 1975 will always top the new one
As an Indian who loved trains since childhood, I was very emotional seeing this footage from 70s. My granny used to take me to my mom's native city on a diesel powered train, for 250kms it took 7 hours of journey and I always asked her a question on when we'll be able to reach in less than 5 hours, she laughed and said it's impossible. The fact that the current fastest train here runs at 160kmph while the Shinkansen 0 series ran at 220+ Kmph since 1964, shows how hard people of Japan worked to make it a success, I hope this technology which is currently under construction here helps our nation.
No train in India runs at 200 km ph
@@MukeshPanicker fault of Indira Gandhi
What a great documentary. Much respect to japan for leading the way in high speed rail. Their reliability and pride in the job they do is something to be proud of.
Greeting from Taiwan, We are Harvest Ideation from Taiwan, working on an exhibition with regards to “0系Shinkansen.” We would like to provide a link of this video in our exhibition as we are sure it will be the perfect expository video for the history of 0系. Look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you!
This is the best video on yotube

MR Kim is funny Airplane Clown.
Gee, that was 26 years ago......where did all that time go.
Very sad it's days are numbered . . .
It's been funded again for three years. It resumed in January 2021.
To me, its days were numbered around 25 years ago. The current train is (to me) The Overland in no more than name.
Is it just me, or does the same girl appear in like 5 different places throughout the video?
i bet she's the producer travelling with the crew xD
@@beznerlim4722 I agree. It makes sense.
Great video. I wonder why the rake is so short now?
Because it's a day train that only runs two days a week in each direction Adelaide - Melbourne - Adelaide. That train from 1988 was overnight and then either six nights a week or daily, on broad (1600mm) before it was converted to standard (1435mm) gauge, and had a economy sitting cars, a combined economy sitter and takeaway buffet car, a first class sitting car - sometimes two - first class sleepers with a lounge car in the middle, plus vans and MotorRail wagon. It was operated by the combined Victorian and South Australian Railways, government owned, which at various times became V/Line (still today) and Australian National (Commonwealth not State Govt owned), latter abolished. Today's 'The Overland' has been privatised and was operated by Great Southern Rail but now it's Journey Beyond Rail Expeditions. It only has two economy sitting cars, a buffet car with some seating and two first class sitting cars plus vans.
@@edmundcarew7235 Yes it is now an overpriced privately run joke. The Overland here was the real one, and it had mainly sleeping cars actually. It was a sleeper train with sitting cars. I regularly worked on the Overland from Melbourne to Adelaide (and return of course), in the 70's when there were real trains, and it was quite a long train in both directions back then.. Like the old Mildura train, an extra engine was added to the 2 on the Overland at times if an engine was required for other work at Ballarat, and this loco was put on front of the train.The preference for the extra engine was to put it on the Vinelander but that wasn't always feasable. The Overland with 3 engines always ran quite early into Ballarat. When the Overland normally ran with it's usual 2 engines and the Vinelander had 2 locos to Ballarat, or even to Mildura as it did at times, or just one B class,( most nights it had just one T class, what a joke), the Vinelander literally caught up to the Overland and often had to slow down until the Overland left Ballarat to come into the platform there. Of course the Vinelander was a much shorter train so travelled the hilly route to Ballarat with 2 locos quite easily. It really should have had 2 locos from Melbourne every trip, but there were not enough locos available for regular 2 loco running with the gutless regular T classes.. Normally there was only one T class on the Vinelander, (except at weekends, when B classes did the trip), but with just one T class loco going up towards Ballan, you could almost have jumped out of the train and literally ran faster.
@@MartintheTinman Not to the extent this rip off is.
@@MartintheTinman I get where you are coming from, that is for "roadside stations" as they are called, the state governement subsidises the fares for those, and it is a requirement that the company that runs the Overland provides that service. Ararat is a roadside station, (railway term), so the fare structure is somewaht cheaper, I am referring to the cost between Melbourne and Adelaide. It is heavily inflated. As for your mother, she would have flown from Maroochydore not from Noosa itself, ad that fare is also a rip off. Many Sunshine Coast people travel fro Brisbane airport and go from there is it is way cheaper, however if the trip is at peak times of the year, such as Easter or Christmas, or school holidays, and booked at short notice, people are prepared to pay more, yet the planes are often not even full. Funny that.
@@MartintheTinman My point basically is that none of these trains should ever have been privatised. And the Overland is nothing like the "real" original one. The name of the current one should be changed, even if some of the carriages are old stock. Privatisation ruined interstate rail travel, except for Melbourne to Sydney, which fortunately is still operated by NSW state government, and melbourne to Albury is still V/Line, a government owned corporation, but as for Beyond and a couple of others cashing in on train names from the past, it is a joke.
Always sad when there's a line closure. Pity it isn't a tourist railway now . . .
The PCO power van was usually at the front and the CO van at the rear, but occasionally they were both at the rear as on this train.
Ian M I went on the 'first' XPT that did a test passenger run from Paramatta to Penrith. You wouldnt have the ABC footage, or a cab ride of that journey? This was the XPT seen on the ABC fillers. If you have a close look at the filler if it is still around, in an outdoor scene on one corner, the rail joints are not aligned correctly and the bogie jumps to one side. Go back three carriages, and theres a kid [me] who leans on the window to have a good look at the cameraman gets a big smack on the head when the carriage jumps on the same joint!!
Ian M., do you have any more footage of the old Overland? I'd love to see more, and there is surprisingly little footage (or surprisingly few still photos, even) of that version of The Overland that shows it with any clarity. And I'd love to see good interior photos, too, especially of roomette or twinette compartments. Or, if you have no more yourself, do you know of existing material elsewhere on-line?
If you search there's at least one video of it leaving Adelaide Parklands, plus some interior shots of the sleepers and the lounge car.
There were quite a few promotional films of the Overland from the 60's and 70's compiled by both the S.A. and V.R.stored in an office at Spencer street. They apparently "disappeared' just before Spencer St. station was converted to a hotel.
@@125sloth Sad. I probably was on some of 'The Overland(s)' you worked on, but was young in those days.
@@edmundcarew7235 I was young too at the time. And the youngest person working the train had to fill in for as the sitting cars conductor between Ballarat and SA border after the Ballarat conductor got off at Ballarat. People asleep in other than their allocated seat, and you had to find them to wake them up. What a shambles sometimes. Some got over carried, (not that often but enough), due to not being where they were supposed to be. and were asleep somewhere else. The Union got involved and told the railways it was not fault of train staff that people moved to other vacant seats and missed their station, and nor was it staffs job to wake people up.
@@125sloth I 'changed over' numerous times at Nhill or Diapur Loop (depending on how each train was running). It was usual for a Ballarat conductor to work from Ballarat to the changeover and back to Ballarat. I don't ever recall them not turning up for the night shift from Ballarat (but I can't claim it never occurred). The VR's Colin Hill and Wayne (surname) were both excellent. As you would know, a large percentage of AN's sitting and sleeping car conductors were of German ethnicity.
When was this event ?
The ticket printed in the film shows the date (昭和) 51.12.10, which translates to December 10, 1976. :-)
Allan Chin S H O W A
that's impressive.
Why 51?
@@vigsna Because it was Year 51 of the reign of the Showa Emperor, Hirohito. Year 1 was 1926, so Year 51 was 1976. 🙂

This is a great document. I'm taking notes for my trip. The vintage technology and the smoking people is a blast from the past =) Thanks!
It amazes me to know that Japan has truly embraced the electric train, as evident with the series zero, and the other trains they operate today.
TheNw1218 Today, N700A Shinkansen runs the exact same distance between Tokyo and Hakata stations in just 4 hours 46 minutes. The N700A Shinkansen can accomplish that feat because of fast acceleration, 300 km/h top speed, and tilting capability to maintain 275 km/h on 2500m radius curves (and 285 km/h can also be maintained on 3000m radius curves) mostly found between Tokyo and Shin-Osaka. This is also managed by digital ATC system that squeezes out the N700A’s performance even further. What a technological progression compared to 0 series that ran in 7 hours.
For a high-speed train to work, there is really little choice but to go electric. The extra weight of larger diesel engines will outweigh performance gains.
Yes 1994 as the gauge was changed to Standard Gauge over a period of several weeks in and around Easter 1994
this is a true testament to what technological advances and etc about Japan in other words, the US still hasn't even caught up yet they just import everything mechanical and technological from Japan the only thing American's are good at are laying down rocks to make roads thats it
Madison it is very amazing that Japan had successfully developed fast rail travelling service systems like “ Shinkansen “ ....however , In 1960s without IMF America had took initiative for approval for securing massive sum of money to fund Japanese Shinkansen projects 🤝👏👏🇯🇵⛩❤️ Japan has been always appreciating forever ❤️❤️👏👏❤️🇯🇵⛩🥂
The Chinese cant even compare to the Japanese since people see the Chinese now as an example for high speed rail but the Japanese still have a more precise high speed system and the Japanese trains are always on time. The Chinese even copied some japanese designs and they didnt even give credit to the Japanese for the E2 shinkansen design. The Japanese high speed system is just better overall.
@@1862henry yeah the only impressive thing about the Chinese one is the scale of everything... but the rail system is either imported (Siemens etc.) or copied...
Very Nice, I love the old ALCOs and cab rides as well! I have subbed to your channel, you can sub back if you like. I have a lot of footage from the early 1990s if you are interested! Bob...
1970 is a bit early for this, the extensions toward Hakata didn't fully open until 1975.
It's 1976
Struth this brings back memories, VLine & AN/ Australia National. love the bulldogs like most Aussie. . Hmm! VLine still just holding strong but A.N gone with the sands of time sadly..😉😄
Quicker to go by car than this express train.
Sylvia Else No it isn't train is much faster anyway cars are uncomfotorble and trains are comfy and good and it is much quicker to go by train then boring old broom broom cars
It takes 2 hours by car, 1 by the XPT, slow hey
The fastest XPT service takes 2 hours 23 mins. The Xplorer does it in 2 hours 15 minutes, despite having a lower to speed. The fastest electric service appears to take 2 hours 27 minutes, even though it has lower speed limits and stops more often. Google Maps indicates that a road trip for the exact same trip would take 2 hours 8 minutes.
Deaths on XPT = 0 (Arrive relaxed) Deaths on Road = 1000's (Arrive frazzled, if not arrived in body bag.)
Sylvia, try keeping up with an XPT in Southern NSW? Track speed for the XPT is 160km/h where a car can only do 100km/h I tried that once between Albury and Cootamundra and didn't fair so well. Even with the speed restrictions that the XPT encountered I still couldn't keep up.
great video, the lady in the video is very beautiful.
