		In contrast to the existing lines, the Shinkansen lines are standard gauge, and use tunnels and viaducts to go through and over obstacles, rather than around them.
		Shinkansen trains now run regularly at speeds of up to 300 kph, putting them among the fastest trains running in the world, along with the French TGV and German ICE trains.
		The prefix is used to distinguish the railway station serving Shinkansen trains in towns where it is in a different location to the regular station, as in Shin-Osaka station.

	Railway Technology - Shinkansen High Speed 'Bullet Train' operated by JR Central, Japan
		Northbound services have been expanded, with the introduction of the Yamagata Shinkansen from Fukushima to Yamagata, the Akita Shinkansen between Morioka and Akita, and the Hokuriku Shinkansen, from Takasaki to Nagano.
		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 prefix 'shin' means 'new' in Japanese and oftentimes when building the Shinkansen network, it was not feasible to build it to the already existing station, therefore a second station was built with the 'shin prefix'.
		Although the idea that there have been no fatalities associated with operation of the Shinkansen is widely believed, there have been several incidents, some fatal, during Shinkansen operations.
		The majority of deaths and injuries have been due to hands or clothing getting caught in closing doors, and the train leaving the platform before anyone notices that a person is stuck.

		The ceding of an existing line to a private sector company on the opening of the Shinkansen, though, is not without precedent; with the opening of the Shinkansen from Morioka to Hachinohe, the section of the existing Tohoku Honsen parallelling the new line was ceded to a private sector company.
		I do think that ideally the Shinkansen should only ever compliment existing lines, and never replace them, but I realise that this will not always make financial sense, and as such I can broadly support the policy of looking at lines on a case-by-case basis when a new Shinkansen line is opened.
		All Shinkansen lines (with the possible exception of the Mini Shinkansen) are built with speed as a priority, but in the case of the Tokaido, San'yo and (perhaps to a lesser extent) Tohoku Shinkansen, increasing the capacity of the close-to-bottleneck existing lines was also a major objective.

		The Yamagata Shinkansen, which has recently been extended to Shinjo, traverses a very interesting course.
		For the first 273km, the train travels at normal shinkansen speed, until reaching Fukushima where the train deviates from the main line and uses a converted 3'6" rail corridor to cross the mountains.
		The trains operating this line have narrow, short carriages (as do the Atika trains) to allow them to traverse the line, and this is noticable at mainline stations as retractable steps cover the gap between train and platform.

		The first line, the TÅkaidÅ Shinkansen, was opened in 1964 and since then 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.
		These include a link to Shikoku by the Honshu-Shikoku bridge system, a link from Tokyo to Narita Airport, a link from Shinjuku to Omiya (part of the Joetsu Shinkansen), and a route covering the entire Sea of Japan coast of Honshu.
		The concrete viaduct built on the approach to Narita Airport for the planned shinkansen link is used in part by the narrow-gauge JR Narita Express services, and is clearly identifiable from the train.
