Sleeker and smarter: Japan unveils new Shinkansen 'Supreme' bullet train
Yoko Wakatsuki and Maggie Wong, CNN • Updated 16th March 2018
(CNN) — The 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics may be two years away, but Japan is already flexing its transportation muscles. Central Japan Railway Co. has rolled out its new high-speed Shinkansen N700S -- or Shinkansen Supreme -- train model.
The smarter, sleeker and quieter train will debut on the Tokaido Shinkansen Line in 2020, and they will travel between Tokyo and Shin-Osaka, in 2020. But test cars will start operating March 2018.
"The (N700S series) has been completely redesigned through renovating main facilities and equipment," Masayuki Ueno, deputy director-general of JR Tokai's Shinkansen Operations Division, told the Asahi Shimbun.
"We have produced a train that can symbolize a new era for the Tokaido Shinkansen Line."

We do massive military expenditures.
We do tax cuts for the rich.
We give corporations whatever they want.
We give financiers and hedge fund managers Get Out of Jail legislation.
But we don't do infrastructure.
And we sure as hell can't do THIS:
..the republicons completely and totally, with the occaisonal help of a few blue dog dems...
