Smart. I assume this will reuse the current tracks already used to run Shinkansen trains as they are replaced, which is fantastic.
Why would they use Shinkansen tracks for something so unaerodynamic?
They're rebuilding and replacing the aging train fleet and had a bunch of ideas of how to reuse the existing tracks without scrapping them. This might be an answer to that problem.
Ah, makes sense. I was not aware of that.
