Japan tests world's fastest bullet train

(CNN) - Japan has started testing its fastest-ever bullet train -- capable of reaching 400 kilometers per hour (249 mph) -- as it continues to develop the revolutionary mode of travel.


일본, 고속철 혁명 지속

시속 400km 탄환 열차 시험 중

일본은 혁명적인 교통수단을 계속 개발하면서 시속 400킬로미터에 이를 수 있는, 역사상 가장 빠른 고속 열차를 시험하기 시작했다.

신칸센의 ALFA-X는 금요일에 시험운행을 시작했다.

2030년경 운행되면 최대 시속 240km로 운행돼 세계에서 가장 빠른 고속열차가 된다.

또한 ALFA-X와 같은 최고 속도 성능으로 설계되었음에도 불구하고 속도가 10kph 느린 중국의 푸싱 열차를 능가할 것이다.

이 모델의 미래형 디자인은 10량의 차량과 긴 코를 특징으로 한다.

The ALFA-X version of the Shinkansen train began three years' worth of test runs on Friday.

Once it enters operation sometime around 2030, it will run at speeds of up to 360 kph (224 mph), comfortably making it the world's fastest bullet trai0

It will also outpace China's Fuxing train, which runs at 10 kph slower despite being designed with the same top speed capabilities as the ALFA-X.

The model's futuristic design features 10 cars and a long pointed nose.

It'll be tested on the line between the cities of Sendai and Aomori, which are about 280 kilometers apart as the crow flies. Tests will take place after midnight, when the line is quiet, and will occur twice a week.



The ALFA-X marks a new stage of growth for the Shinkansen, pushing the world-renowned high speed rail service even faster towards the future.

Its testing debut comes as Japan's new high-speed Shinkansen N700S continues tests that began just over a year ago.

The model will operate at speeds of up to 360 km/h.

That model will enter operation in 2020, but its maximum speeds of 300 kph -- the same as other N700 series trains -- will be easily surpassed by the ALFA-X.

The flurry of new models coincides with Japan's preparations to host the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.



No matter what speeds the train achieves during its test runs, it won't match the record-breaking pace of Japan Railway's magnetic levitation, or maglev, train which hit 603 kph (374 mph) on an experimental track in 2015.
