User Comments on this Video (6) Posted by John G. on March 6, 2008 Nice video, Rod! That seems like it would be a really cool sensation! Thanks for sharing ! Posted by The Wolf on March 6, 2008 The amount of curves on this line is amazing.Although I am sure it would keep the engineer awake from complacency and fatique.I would like to see more of this line in video. Posted by Pete Reynolds on March 6, 2008 The faster it goes the more it tilts? Bring on the speed. Looks like a fun ride. Nice vid. How did you wrangle your way up front? Posted by Rod Williams on March 7, 2008 One of the joys of railfanning in Japan is that on most trains you can watch the driver through a glass partition. Audience participation is actually encouraged in some places with some trains having the driver above or below the passengers field of view.

Posted by JackInCT on March 7, 2008 I really like the scene where the train appeared to catch up to & outpaced the cars on what looked like a divided highway; and the lack of grade crossings in what appears to be a few miles of travel in this video also caught my eye; the planners did a great job in laying out the track in this area in keeping cars and trains apart from one another. - Post a Comment - (Registration is not required to post photo comments, but is encouraged.)
