The Shinkansen or Bullet Train in Japan is now 50 years old. I wanted to show what its like to look out the window on a trip from Hiroshima to Osaka. The fastest speed we are generally familiar with is the takeoff velocity of a passenger jet, which is about 175 mph. The Shinkansen is traveling about 220 mph in this case, which is near the top speed of an Indy race car. However the fastest trains are in France, where the TGV can reach a speed of 350 mph.
