Description
I was waiting for my train to pull into the station and Decided to take this shot of another bullet train across the platform. The Japanese do not call the train a "bullet train", but refer to it as the shinkansen, or "new trunk line." Ironically enough, they cost as much as an airline ticket does, pollute the environment the same as an airliner (unless, of course you don't see nuclear waste as "dirty"), and get you there over twice as slow. But having multiple trains per day is a lot more convenient than waiting for a flight. They also look really cool.
