Yeah, it's a 0-Series Shinkansen. Cool as a cucumber.

Possibly only out-cooled (on rails) by the special TGV set which did over 350mph.

Yeah spot on... very impressive really, dated from the 60's it felt almost like being on a train today... being on it feels like it might be say 20-25yrs old... not 40!
