Japan:

When the high – speed train Shinkansen, with several records under his belt, opened in 1964, did it at the right time. That year, Tokyo hosted the Olympic Games and Japan hogging the spotlight for the début of the first commercial bullet train service in the world.

In 2020, the Japanese capital will host the Games and if you have the feeling of déjà vu is because the Asian nation is again crushing the railway records.

The new Japanese train, the maglev (magnetic levitation train), became the fastest train in the world to travel to 374 mph (603 kph) in a test near Mount Fuji last year, breaking his own world record of 366 miles per hour (590 mph), achieved a week earlier.
Maglev trains, which already operate at lower speeds in Shanghai and Changsha, in China as well as in Inch-eon, South Korea use magnetic repulsion both to levitate the train, reducing friction to propel it to the front.

This is perhaps the boldest innovation railway Japan so far.
Great distance in less time

Chuo Shinkansen maglev line will travel from Tokyo to the southern city of Nagoya in 40 minutes practically faster than by plane, considering the time needed to reach the airport. There are plans to later extend it to Osaka.

The train will have the capacity to carry a thousand passengers on the route of 159 miles (256 kilometers).

Tomoaki Seki, an administrator Railway Company Japan Center, which is developing the maglev line, said the company has tested this technology since 1997.

Before naija go reach that level it will take another 500yrs...

Vote PDP 2019 and i assure you we wud get there

Oh my China. Beating every record like kilode. How I wish our leaders will think like China did.

This is better called 'Prain' i.e. plane in a train

Japan and China are two different countries.

These people are light years ahead of us
