                'Next-generation' Shinkansen model on display

                HAMAMATSU, Japan - A new Shinkansen model, the ''next-generation'' N-700 Series, on display in a press preview at the JR Tokai Hamamatsu plant in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka Prefecutre on April 10. According to JR engineers, a key N-700 technical feature is that the train, through the use of air spring, can bend at curves so that it does not have to decelerate when passing through curving passages. The N-700 Series, which will run in the Tokaido Sanyo Shinkansen line, can speed through curves at a maximum speed of 270 kilometers per hour in the Tokaido sector and 300 kph in the Sanyo sector, they say. As a result, the N-700 Series can travel between Tokyo and the Shin-Osaka station in Osaka in 2 hours and 25 minutes, down 5 minutes, and between Tokyo and the Hakata station in Fukuoka in 4 hours and 50 minutes.
