        I'm generally not a fan of high-speed rail, or rather, I don't care about HSR as much as I care about humble commuter trains.

        I think it's a kind of glamorous show-stealer which ppl in the USA think you can actually build w/o an extensive base-rail-network.

        The 0 series is iconic; its shape inspired the term "bullet train." It was withdrawn from service in 2008. Top speed: 220kmh

        This design was very expensive to produce, and only a few were made. It continues running today--alas, I've never managed to ride one.
