- Japan Bullet trains have meticulous maintenance routine. The documentary shows the East Japan Railway Company's precision maintenance regime as carried out on bullet train tracks and carriages in order to ensure maximum safety of these high speed trains running at 320kph.. -- documentary credit (NHK World)
Long live Japan. I am an Indian. I respect Japanese for their uprightness, sincerity, dedication, discipline and honesty.. Something which is not there in my country..
Even thousand years will not be enough to be like Japan
Japanese is pure mixture of discipline,dedication and diligence
Great respect to Japanese people
India is nothing infront of Japan
हो गयी बकवास शुरू,हम बेहतर करने की बजाये बेवकूफो की तरह blame करेगे,तो बेहतर काम नही कर पाएंगे।बेवकूफ blame करते और समझदार solution निकलते है,यही फर्क है,कामयाब और बेवकूफ में।
@John F Drink that koolaid John, drink it.
@Mario india is Changing tremendously ! they are growing very fast , faster than china . in fact the e5 series shown here will start operation in india by 2022. construction has begun !
And generous allowances offerred to them by the west after the war
Superior Japanese technology and maintenance! And, after billions of passengers since 1964---not one fatality. NOT ONE. Absolutely brilliant...
The Shinkansen has a good record, but there was a serious accident in Amagasaki in 2005 with 107 fatalities although that was believed to be driver error.
@@MervynPartin That wasn't a shinkansen but a commuter train. There's considerably more accidents on those.
@@hammerfalls9992 Yes, I was aware of it being a commuter train (some of which I have used in Japan), but my comment was not aimed at the Shinkansen itself, but the words "superior Japanese technology and maintenance" which may be mostly good, but has produced some poor results in a few instances (think of IET on the GWR or if you have ever worked on Japanese ship some of the machinery leaves a lot to be desired). In other words, no one is perfect!
@@hammerfalls9992 not more than India though
@@MervynPartin the class 800s are put together here though so its likely flaws are down to the British workforce
Even the micrometer carries the words 'Made in Japan' Says it all, really. Impressive stuff!!
I can remember back when anything that had "Made in Japan" stamped on it was immediately dismissed as "Junk" or "Worthless". Japan has come a long way since then
@@bibekanandahansda2926 it was before ww2 and several years after ww2 back when japan product considered as second grade copies of the west. And the japanese started making it better than the west
Almost every engineer and machinist in America has at least one pair of Mitutoyo calipers.
Yes I too noticed that.
Why does a Japanese micrometer used by Japanese machinists in a Japanese shop say MADE IN JAPAN written in English?
SEAN
Their commitment to safety warms my heart.
310 Kph on the Shinkansen is as smooth as glass with very little sensation of speed until you enter a tunnel. If a Shinkensen is a minute late it's a news story in Japan. You can literally set your watch by the arrival and departure of the trains. The cars are spotless, inside and out, and the bathrooms are clean and spacious. If we had that kind of train service in the U.S. the airlines with their tiny seats, "go f_ _ _ _ yourself" attitudes, surcharge after surcharge, and peanuts if your lucky, would either go belly up, or learn what customer service means.
I'd love to see nationwide train service like this. Crossing the country in 10 hours by comfy train beats cramming into an airplane for a 6 hour ride hands-down. Monstrously expensive to build and run though; we've got a lot more ground to cover in the States than they do in Japan. And I can't say whether I would worry more if a private corporation tried to do it or our government did. Either way it probably wouldn't match the high standard set by the Shinkansen.
It's the same cost per mile bro
Sure, with MANY more miles to cover than in Japan.
I remember the days of peanuts....I didn’t realize it was such a privilege back then. I am gleeful every time an American airline goes belly up.
Japan is about the size of California.
JAPAN, The land of PERFECTION !!! It either be 100% or call it a failure.... Lovely !!
born US citizen i am but i wish i could experience this level of dedication and safety in my country these people make me feel small and left behind
Man these guys are 20 years ahead of every country. Respect
Airplane is the safest transportation in the world? No, the Shinkansen is.
Thumbs up to Japan for making these great machines..!
This is devotion of Japanese towards their work...
What a great documentary, such a careful description of the care needed to keep these precision trains running.

God father of bullet train technology...keep supporting us ...India ❤️ japan
I was in Japan, the Shinkansen is AMAZING!!!!
YES! Metric measurements the rest of the world can understand!
A role model for quality engineering
I am so proud of Japan for such quality work with such precision so perfect. That is being a GREAT HUMAN--- I am so sick of so many in the world but You are great !
Allahu Akbar
@John F ....Is it scary in Mommies Basement?
@@TokyoHouse Asshole!
Oh okay Made in USA
@@StevePenney34 American under development in western country...fuck your shithole
Futuristic innovations which is maintained with precision accuracy and diligence.
Reallly great maintenance
Japan should be a role model for every country
awesome engineering.
Land Of Technology , Where Accuracy
Matters the MOST ! 👌
If you are wondering why the trains have those strange shaped noses, it is to reduce aerodynamic shocks when entering and exiting tunnels at high speed.
intriguing. top engineering and meticulous work ethic !
I would be interested to see what the profitability of these trains are. With the religious maintenance of the trains and the lines themselves the upkeep has to be seriously costly. In the US the CEO’s would never spend so much on maintenance if they could avoid it. All they care is increased shareholder values. Just look at the US Airline industry,they go to extremes to avoid maintenance costs. Outsourcing to low wage countries,spreading out maintenance intervals to the minimum the manufacturers and the FAA will allow.
That ultrasound scanner, on a larger scale of course, is what the U. S. needs for boiler inspections on excursion steam locomotives. FRA boiler inspections are a pain, but imagine cutting the time for that from 2 years to a weekend.
That prevent.. so amazing
Japan people brilliant in Asia.
3000 workers each night for just 1 section of the track maintenance.... the cost is huge!
Amazing job. They are very concerned about safety
Thank you soooo much for uploading this! Please upload more videos like this if possible!
trainsforever8 mail me m
You achieve this level of superior dedication when people come before profit. In America we would have sub-contracted maintenance to the cheapest bidder.
bitter? Do you even grammar?
@@eduardosampoia5480 Go back to Mexico where you belong
@@Gluluman I'm a grammar nazi...not out of Mexico.
The Japanese are indeed the benchmark of Safety and Quality.
This feat is a proof of Japan's national character. Patriotism, honesty are dominant traits of Japan's national character that helped it to overcome natural and human induced disasters and rebuild the nation.
Awesome! So much effort and dedication from the engineers. 👏
Japanese people and also Shinkansen is really great.I very much love Japan and Japanese.
Thank you engr255.
superior people
Really interesting. Thank you!
Japanese technology shinkansen
The world's most ranked technical laborer
Salute for hard working.. I love Japan. Love from India.
India can have japan hi- sp train, The question is can they maintain the same level maintenance service after one year later.
Excellent experience
meticulous maintenace=perfect performance
Japanese are a cut above the rest.
Great respect to them.
Shinkansen, best in the world !!
amtrak? lmao. have fun w/ the shitty acela too
@@noob.168 noob train
These huge cost of maintenances and replacements of various parts and supporting facilities causes the high price of shinkanses service. Actually it is pretty simple, good service = high price. It is a simple math... So, you can't expect these type of trains runs with subsidize from the government, as a part of public service obligation. Except, for the local train or some suburb service, that's another thing.
Very impressive.. Japan is different..
Wow! Respect from Morocco
japan is an amazing country :)
Better pay a bit more for the safety than being dead.
Air liner companies proved it.
So Wonderful
Amazing
nice documentary :)
You can ride the Shinkansen safely and comfortably by ensuring safety by following the carefully crafted Shinkansen maintenance and inspection rules every time.
wow even in the simple things, Japanese are very meticulous, very punctual, very dedicated, long live Japan
which Pinoys must adopt these work ethics even in the simplest things
Love from Philippines
very nice done the right way and worth the cost, saves billions of gallons of oil too...
It also creates much job.
That 25K voltage come from oil burned to generate LOL.
@@williamsaunders8047 Not really. Japan uses Nuclear energy and geothermal energy.
@@jannadrielcervo7753
Spent Nuclear is also a waste. Instead, They should energize the line by having office people in each city along the line, pedaling power generating stationary bikes while at work.
Wonderful.
Someone said long time ago travel to future is possible and real! Just travel to Japan.😁👍
Eye-opened
Japanese people have discipline in there DNA 😎😎😎
Nice work
So wonderfull
And their vehicles are very well made also. Purchased my first Toyota in 1967 after being VERY disappointed in Detroit products. No comparison.

I just bought a toyota recently. looked at the label inside the door... made in U.S.A. Very well designed in japan and very well assembled in USA. Looked inside my fathers Dodge? hecho en Mexico, and has been having issues since it was purchased
When I was in the Navy, long ago, I was on a local train from Yokosuka to Tokyo. We kept passing the same bullet train. I asked someone why. It was on a maintenance run. I thought for awhile maybe the local was faster.
Japan, the best!!
Impressive, but this is Japan.
999 level
Precision and dedication, i always found these two key elements in japanese engineering, it's wonderfull and i'm impressed... 🙏
I always feel safe riding on train in Japan no matter how fast they run, that is safety issue never crosses my mind.
Hi,
Many thanks for the upload, any other maintenance videos of these pretty special train would be most welcome.
Take care and I have subbed so will be checking your channel for more videos.

Great engineering Great Japan...
Japanese are great at health and saftey
We appreciate our having Japan as an ally. Wish the US wasn't in such a mess as of late so we could offer our friends in the region some sense of security. Lived though the Depression, World War II and everything since and can't believe how far the leadership of this country has deteriorated. There isn't anything to the Donald. He thinks he is the star of yet another reality show. He has given the far right tacit approval to do whatever they can to disrupt an already fracture society. Again, I can't believe we are in such a wretched state of chaos in the federal government. At least the state and local governments are functioning.BAH HUMBUG Washington, bah humbug.
Ojo Felix NM our allies need to pay a fair share,
@@ojofelixnm3608 Found the moron in the comment section.
Great show, but how wasn't this created in widescreen?
And they say, India is planning to install a Japanese Bullet train line. I don't think the Japanese will allow their first fatality to be overseas.
INDIA IS THE PANTRY TO THE MODERN WORLD .
@Nara Fire may be commenting on other countries efforts, really Indian Railways punctuality had gone up to almost 85 percent in southern railway, impressive stuff
What makes Shinkansen special is not a train nor a operation system. Maintenance and education system based on Japanese ethics do.
nice vedios
Cool
OK.... You guys need to come here and teach how things are done when you want "em done right!... That is some level of professionalism, here!
my fevaret train
Does it still exist after Fukashima?
Everything is made in Japan even the measuring device. In the US we can't even make a dish rag. All we make is websites. SiliCon valley.
Every time the wheels go in for maintenance the trains loose speed due to loss of diameter. How do they compensate?
In America, we hire union workers who read at a 2nd grade to maintenance our trains. We also run trains until the crash and then we still do nothing about it. In America, we spend more money to preserve steam engines that are rarely useful instead maintaining the daily used trains...
MaddoxInc :WHY? The reason??
Trains Suck Man...It's really just riding the Bus....
GET RID OF UNIONS
THEY COST TOO MUCH
FOR THE QUALITY OF THE
WORK THEY DO!!!!!!!!
What? No they don't.
Comprehensive people,worker and government.
Amazingproduction.railjapanlikeit
Our New York City subways and Long Island trains are garbage trucks that run on rail lines.
Wide enough to move to sleep, two containers. Lift to carry, lift to change the wheels, two heads the worm, big and bigger.
Respekt for Japon industri

The safest spot in Japan in an earthquake - shinkansen
4:45 wheel continually rolls. So, it will wear & surface aligns. When rail will align.
Its alot harder than the wheel, i just machined those wheels couple days ago at work. Wheels are just S355 Structural steel.
And if you didnt realize the train is travelling while the rail is not, so use your head a bit.
@@KehusQ : thank you. I know that wheel surface will be subjected to more wear than rail as it repeatedly comes into contact with long rail which runs for kms. But I am interested in wear rate & replacement of rail also (may be in years).
In finland, all the rails and tracks get inspected every year. They upkeep rsils by welding and/or grinding them regurarly to keep the shape. They dont really deform at all. And ultrasound inspection shows if theres any structural damage, which means the rail needs to gets replaced.
Great Engineer. Oh! Bullet trains.... Please come to Thailand.

It's, essentially, an airliner on rails.
So are the track rails not crowned like American trains to counter differential of a solid axle? Or did they just ignore this for the sake of highlighting reprofiling the wheels?
So much Perfection irks me 🤪🤪👏👏🍺🍺👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
they ride on the radius of the wheel...interesting
5:22 poor wheel screaming in pain!!
The Japanese actually wanted to sell these trains to the U.S. but the Govt didn't want to buy them
wow
