	CONK! Encyclopedia: Shinkansen (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		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 (185 mph), putting them among the fastest trains running in the world, along with the French TGV, Spanish AVE and German ICE trains.
		Despite this, there are two planned speed increases, one to 350 km/h for new trains on the Sanyo line, and one to 360 km/h using the FASTECH 360 trains currently in testing on the Tohoku Shinkansen.

	Nozomi (Shinkansen) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 500 Series Shinkansen and 700 Series Shinkansen are used for Nozomi services.
		On the Tokaido Shinkansen, Nozomi trains stop at Tokyo Station, Nagoya Station, Kyoto Station, and Shin-Osaka Station.
		On the Sanyo line, all Nozomi trains stop at Shin-Kobe Station, Okayama Station, Hiroshima Station, Kokura Station, and Hakata Station.

	Shinkansen (Japanese Bullet Train)
		The Tokaido Shinkansen, connecting Tokyo, Nagoya, Kyoto and Osaka, was inaugurated in the year 1964 as the first shinkansen line and the world's first high speed train.
		The southern half of the Kyushu Shinkansen, connecting Yatsushiro with Kagoshima, was inaugurated in March 2004.
		Currently under construction are the further extension of the Tohoku Shinkansen to Aomori and the extension of the Nagano Shinkansen to Kanazawa.

		Average number of passengers of Shinkansen was 21,649 in 1964, and grew at surprising pace, marking 20 or 30 percent increase every year in 1960s (27,738 in 1965, 49,681 in 1967, 70,807 in 1970).
		In 1972, Shinkansen was extended to Okayama, and in 1975, Hakata (Fukuoka) in Kyushu Island.
		Shinkansen might be extend to other cities such as Sakata, Matsue, Takamatsu, Matsuyama and Oita by introduction of eMini Shinkansenf or the development of free-gauge train currently under experiment which can change gauge from 1435 mm to 1067 mm and go direct from Shinkansen to conventional rail line.

	Routes and Services
		The Sanyo Shinkansen was opened as far as Okayama in March 1972, and the entire 554 km from Shin-Osaka to Hakata (Fukuoka) was opened in January 1975 with the completion of the 18.7 km Shin-Kanmon Tunnel linking Honshu (Japan's main island) to Kyushu.
		The Sanyo line was designed as part of the eventual nationwide shinkansen network, with a nominal design speed of 260 km/h and minimum curve radii of 4,000 m.
		Sanyo services are operated by 6-car 0 series and 100 series sets, and 4-car 100 series sets, all of which have no green class accommodation.

	Railway Technology - Shinkansen High Speed 'Bullet Train' operated by JR Central, Japan
		Shinkansen run largely on conventional steel rail mounted on concrete sleepers, but the fastest services use dedicated tracks to avoid conflict with slower trains.
		Shinkansen trains run on two different gauges - 1,067mm and 1,435mm - which precludes each part of the system from using the other's trains.
		The next candidate is the 59km of the Nagano Shinkansen from Nagano to Joetsu, with plans existing to eventually extend this to Komatsu via Toyama and Kanazawa.

		As with its inauguration, the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano Japan were a target for the opening of a rail line extension: Hokuriku Shinkansen (Tokyo to Nagano) got open under this scheme just in time.

		Earthquake is a very dangerous factor to the Shinkansen which runs at a high speed, and various quake-resistance systems have been introduced.
		As a result, the seismic capacity of the Sanyo Shinkansen was greatly improved.
		The first one is that the peak speed at which the Shinkansen currently runs is 270-300 kph as a result of speed competition.

		Kokura (小倉;) was an ancient castle town guarding, via its suburb Moji, the Straits of Shimonoseki between Honshu and Kyushu in Japan.
		Now part of the modern city of Kitakyushu, it is also the name of the penultimate station on the southbound Sanyo Shinkansen line.
		Kokura was the primary target of the nuclear weapon "Fat Man" on August 9, 1945, but since the city had been obscured by clouds and Major Charles Sweeney of the Bockscar had orders to drop the bomb visually, they moved on to Nagasaki, the secondary target, where they dropped their lethal weapon.
