Mini-shinkansen

Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-003687

A Japanese railway concept where conventional narrow-gauge lines are upgraded to allow Shinkansen (bullet train) rolling stock to operate, albeit at reduced speeds. This involves modifying track gauge and infrastructure to accommodate the wider Shinkansen trains. It provides high-speed rail services to regions without full Shinkansen lines.
