The E4 had a truly bizarre design, another all-double-deck train, withdrawn this year.pic.twitter.com/TxIqB42DMW
Launched in 2011, the E5 is the fastest in the fleet, top speed 320kmh. First to include a super-first-class car.pic.twitter.com/mcewmE7VGt
Launched in 2014, the E7/W7 runs on the Hokuriku route. Like the E5, this design includes a "Gran Class" car.pic.twitter.com/vGzOyhHo5B
Now the "mini-Shinkansen," which run on HSR *and* conventional tracks. The 400 series ran on the Yamagata route.pic.twitter.com/6a7NyMxLMW
The 400 was withdrawn in 2010, replaced by this, the E3 series, which also ran on the Akita route.pic.twitter.com/Iy1eHERD8Z
E3 service on the Akita route stopped with the introduction of the E6 seriespic.twitter.com/IWQSeZxc8Q
The newest Shinkansen line, the Hokkaido Shinkansen, uses the H5, a variant of the E5. This line opened March 2016!pic.twitter.com/2MQoglD2rx
Lastly, an honorable mention for the 700T, a variant of the 700 series for use in Taiwan.pic.twitter.com/sYjRThy2SH
