What lines we ride also depends on where we are staying.nscalestationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10783221442726601040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410127354490128759.post-47774605849809240882015-07-31T17:42:34.856-07:002015-07-31T17:42:34.856-07:00Hi Brad, so I gather you make a point to ride at l...Hi Brad, so I gather you make a point to ride at least 2 new trains on every trip to Japan. That would be nice to have ridden most of the trains I have. Well I've ridden Caltrain and the Amtrak California Zephy, I got a lot more trains to ride. <br />-juniorStashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199008906314894873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410127354490128759.post-7222680219838990662015-07-23T21:33:27.753-07:002015-07-23T21:33:27.753-07:00Hi Rod,

It did have a speed display and my notes say we hit 234km/h. Have not seen speed displays on any of the other models we've been on.nscalestationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10783221442726601040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8410127354490128759.post-25560414718805638522015-07-12T19:06:31.155-07:002015-07-12T19:06:31.155-07:00Hi Brad.

What a buzz. I think we touched 300 klm. I did notice that they stick the ballast down. First off I thought it was from a train that leaked treacle then had a light bulb moment. LOL.<br />Regards<br />Rod.Rod Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07625702984993829556noreply@blogger.com
