These Passengers Are So Pumped About Riding in a Really Fast Train
Reaching 311 miles per hour on a test track in Japan makes for some giddy responses.
The Central Japan Railway Company has been conducting test runs this month for its Chuo Shinkansen, an experimental maglev train that can travel up to 311 mph. Curious what it feels like to ride such a fast train? Watch the video below, which follows the 100 lucky passengers who got to experience an incredibly fast ride between the cities of Uenohara and Fuefuki (27 miles apart) over the weekend.
The best part: When the train reaches peak speed (displayed on monitors inside the train), passenger giddiness ensues.
