Flood From Typhoon Destroys Japanese Bullet Trains Worth ₦108b by obafemee80(m): 6:49pm On Oct 19, 2019 |
[img]https://imagizer./img921/7017/C97AVm.jpg[/img] The death toll from Typhoon Hagibis, the 19th to hit Japan this year, has risen to 74. Thousands of residents remain without power or water after the powerful wind struck eastern and central Japan last week Saturday. Floodings caused by the Typhoon has also drowned ten 12 car bullet trains operated by Japan Railway Co. The typhoon brought torrential rain which triggered the overflow of a nearby Chikuma River. All the 120 cars on the ten bullet trains were damaged by the flood. Two of these trains were also derailed, with one being swept 10 to 15 meters from its original position. The figure is around one-third of all the trains used on the Hokuriku Shinkansen Line. The line connects Tokyo and Kanazawa in central Japan. Services are expected to be fully restored in a weeks time. To resume the line, Railway operator, East Japan Railway Co. (JR East) will utilize backup bullet trains to restore 80 percent of the normal timetable by Oct. 25. [img]https://imagizer./img924/7705/ukDROi.jpg[/img] The affected trains will be scrapped despite the undercarriage waterproof features. The operators fears the trains will not run safely after being submerged for a long period. According to a railway systems specialist, the affected cars “May have suffered fatal damage to their core parts including motor speed control inverters.” Each of these totally submerged bullet trains cost an estimated 3.3 billion yen ( $30 million or about ₦10.8 billion) brand new. Japan’s world-renowned high speed Shinkansen trains are rarely late. Each of these bullet-trains departs Tokyo Station every few minutes for Osaka and other destinations. The lines are viable alternative to air travel. https://autojosh.com/bullet-trains-drownedflood-from-typhoon-hagibis-destroys-10-japanese-super-fast-trains-worth-n108b/ 5 Likes 3 Shares |

godofuck231: A high speed train costs a lot of money to maintain and to run Add the fact that the railway lines these trains use are not the type of railway lines you are thinking of, they use a special kind of railway line that enables the train to run via a magnetic force.(It cost $10.6 bn to build 150 km of track.). Plus it costs $130(47000 NAIRA) to ride one of these trains for seven days in Japan. If we brought the train to Nigeria...the maintenance costs would eat our transport budget , and would force Nigerian Railways Corp to charge the average Nigerian HIGH PRICES. Annual mainatenace costs could reach as high as $7,656,826,360 (7.7bn dollars).... Our transport budget for this year...not up to N300bn naira (less than 1bn dollars).

Dear Nairalanders, if you want to see these trains in Nigeria, I advice you to visit Ladipo in 2weeks time. NB: You may not be able to see the Train as a whole because of space, but trust me, you'll be able to buy the parts and assemble them by yourself. Signed Ladipo market chairman 5 Likes |
