  200 Series Shinkansen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 200 Series Shinkansen trainsets were built for the second generation of Shinkansen dedicated high-speed rail lines in Japan, the Tohoku Shinkansen and Joetsu Shinkansen.
They actually predate the 100 Series Shinkansen, having been built between 1980 and 1986.
They resemble the earlier 0 Series Shinkansen in styling (some later units have the pointed 'shark nose' of the 100 Series), but are lighter and more powerful, since these two lines are mountain routes and have steeper grades.
