  JAPAN, May 1-8, 2006 » A Travelogue by Steve Boland
Not that Shinkansen are really comparable to planes; they may be roughly as fast when you factor in airport security, waiting times to check-in and board, and travel to outlying fields (Shinkansen stations are located in city centers, connected to local transit networks), but they're roomier and smoother, more comfortable.
The 700, with its distinctive "duck bill" of a nose, seemed to me to be the most commonly used model on the Tokyo-Osaka mainline.
Shinkansen are so long that by the time the last car leaves a station, they've already worked up a head of steam.

The IBM 700/7000 series was a series of large scale (mainframe) computer systems made by IBM through the 1950s and early 1960s.
The 700 class used vacuum tubes, the 7000 class was transistorized.
One of the selling points of the System/370 was improved 1400/7000 series emulation (it could be done under operating system control instead of shutting down and restarting in emulation mode as was done on the 360s).

 200 series shinkansen - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
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.

 SHINKANSEN : Encyclopedia Entry
Shinkansen track is standard gauge, extremely level, and has rails that are continuously welded together to reduce vibration.
The "Shinkansen" name was first formally used in 1940 for a proposed standard gauge passenger/freight line between Tokyo and Shimonoseki, using steam and electric locomotives with a top speed of 200 km/h (twice the speed of the fastest Japanese train at the time).
The first Shinkansen trains ran at speeds of up to 210 km/h (130 mph)[[1]], later increased to 220 km/h (135 mph); some of these trains, with their classic bullet-nosed appearance, are still in use.

Since the initial Tōkaidō Shinkansen opened in 1964, the network has expanded to link most major cities on the islands of Honshu and Kyushu with running speeds of up to 300 km/h (186 mph), in an earthquake and typhoon prone environment.
When building the Shinkansen network, it was not often feasible to build the line to connect to an already existing station and therefore a new second station was built.
Shinkansen trains now run regularly at speeds of up to 300 km/h (186 mph), putting them among the fastest trains running in the world, along with the French TGV, Italian TAV, Spanish AVE, German ICE, and South Korean KTX trains.

Travel time between Tokyo and Hakata for the 700 series is 4 hours 57 minutes, which is actually 8 minutes longer than for the 500 series.
The reason the 700 series is slower, JR officials said, is because it emphasizes energy conservation and noise reduction rather than sheer speed.
espite the sleek design, the 700 series has a seating capacity as high as previous bullet train--an improvement from the 500 series, which sat fewer passengers in the first and last cars because of its extra long nose.

Afterwards aluminum-alloy cars have been adopted for commuter trains, subway trains, express trains, and Shinkansen with a great hope for their light weight by means of the development of large-scale extrusion, achieved by joint research with aluminum material suppliers and by the progress in our manufacturing technologies.
The lead car of a 700 Series Shinkansen train roughly consists of 6 structures; a nose structure, an under-frame structure, side structures (left and right), a roof structure, and an end structure.
Especially with the Series 700 Shinkansen train, it adopts the large-scale extrusion with double-skin structure, which also contributes to its noise reduction effects.
