13 Shinkansen operation: JR companies JR companies are private companies and successors of Japanese National Railways Passenger companies are also infrastructure owners. All companies are independently administrated. 6 passenger railway companies + 1 freight railway company + Other companies Network length Shinkansen (1435mm) 12% Hokkaido Railway Company) East Japan Railway Company Central Japan Railway Company West Japan Railway Company Shikoku Railway Company Kyushu Railway Company Japan Freight Railway Company Conventional (1067mm) 86% Mini-Shinkansen (Conventional) (1435mm) 1% Total 12,483miles (19,973km) Railway Technical Research Institute JR Information System Japan Telecom (now, Soft Bank Telecom)

14 Shinkansen Shinkansen = New trunk line First high speed rail system in the world (46 years history) Tokaido Shinkansen opened in 1964 (maximum line speed was 131mph [210km/h]) to increase the capacity of the most congested Tokaido line System of high speed with concepts: Dedicated high speed track with 1435mm standard track gauge closed system independent from the conventional line, no level crossing Distributed power rolling stock (EMU) ATC in-cab signalling system Centralized traffic control system etc -> high speed operation with high safety Maximum line speed: mph ( km/h) Exceptional: Mini-Shinkansen upgraded lines from narrow gauge to standard gauge operable through high speed line to conventional lines Series 0 ( )
