The Old Japanese Shinkansen… this is the one that gave the nickname “Bullet Train” to the Shinkansen, now a stuffed and mounted museum piece.

Trivia: In Japanese, “Shin” means ‘New’. These trains were first used on the ‘Kansen Line’, so it was the ‘new Kansen line’ train. Shinkansen later became the generic name for the new high speed trains all over Japan.
