The N700 series (N700系, Enu nanahyaku-kei) is a Japanese Shinkansen high-speed train with tilting capability developed jointly by JR Central and JR West for use on the Tōkaidō and San'yō Shinkansen lines since 2007, and is operated by JR Kyushu on the Kyushu Shinkansen line.
N700 series trains have a maximum speed of 300 km/h (186 mph), and tilting of up to one degree allows the trains to maintain 270 km/h (168 mph), even on 2,500 m (8,202 ft) radius curves that previously had a maximum speed of 255 km/h (158 mph). Another feature of the N700 is that it accelerates more quickly than the older 700 series Shinkansen trains, with a maximum acceleration rate of 2.6 km/h/s (0.72 m/s2). This enables it to reach 270 km/h (170 mph) in only three minutes. Further advancements led to the development of the N700A, an incremental evolution of the N700. N700A trains can reach 285 km/h (177 mph) on 3,000 m (9,843 ft) curves, allowing the maximum operating speed on the Tōkaidō Shinkansen to be raised to 285 km/h (177 mph). All N700 series sets have been retrofitted with most of the improvements added to the N700A series, and are now classified as "N700A".
Because of these improvements, trains can travel between Tokyo and Osaka on a Nozomi run in as little as 2 hours and 22 minutes on the fastest service.

South Korea's high-speed rail system is one of the most advanced in the world, operating under the Korea Train Express (KTX) brand. Since its launch in 2004, the country has developed several types of high-speed trains. The original KTX-I was based on French TGV technology and marked the beginning of high-speed travel between major cities like Seoul and Busan.
The KTX-I, also known as the first-generation KTX, was developed through a technology transfer agreement with the French company Alstom, manufacturer of the TGV. Capable of speeds up to 300 km/h, it was introduced as part of Korea's ambitious Gyeongbu High-Speed Rail Project, linking Seoul with the southeastern regions. Its launch revolutionized domestic travel, cutting travel times dramatically and setting a new standard for public transportation in the country.
With a design directly influenced by the TGV Réseau, the KTX-I features power cars at both ends and articulated passenger cars between them. While its core systems were initially manufactured in France, Korea gradually localized production and maintenance expertise, laying the groundwork for future domestic models. The train not only improved connectivity but also played a symbolic role in Korea’s emergence as a modern, tech-forward nation.
To this day, the KTX-I remains in active service and continues to be a reliable component of Korea's high-speed network, particularly on the Gyeongbu and Honam Lines. Its legacy is that of a trailblazer—bridging continents through technology and transforming how Koreans move across their country.

South Korea's high-speed rail system is one of the most advanced in the world, operating under the Korea Train Express (KTX) brand. Since its launch in 2004, the country has developed several types of high-speed trains. The original KTX-I was based on French TGV technology and marked the beginning of high-speed travel between major cities like Seoul and Busan. In 2010, the KTX-Sancheon, also known as KTX-II, became the first high-speed train fully developed in Korea by Hyundai Rotem. It introduced improved safety, design, and comfort features tailored to Korean needs.
More recently, the KTX-Eum (이음), launched in 2021, was introduced as a next-generation electric multiple unit (EMU) designed specifically for semi-high-speed service on lines such as the Jungang and Donghae Lines. Unlike past KTX trains that rely on locomotive-hauled sets, the KTX-Eum uses distributed traction motors beneath each car, allowing for better acceleration and more efficient energy use. With a maximum operating speed of 260 km/h on dedicated EMU tracks (and up to 150 km/h on general conventional lines), the Eum balances high-speed performance with versatility on routes that were previously served only by slower, conventional trains.
The design of the KTX-Eum reflects a focus on passenger comfort and accessibility. Each car features low-floor entrances for easier boarding, spacious seating arrangements, and Wi-Fi connectivity throughout. Large panoramic windows enhance the travel experience along scenic stretches such as those between Cheongnyangni and Andong on the Jungang Line. Technologically, the Eum is equipped with regenerative braking systems that feed energy back into the grid, LED lighting for reduced power consumption, and advanced onboard diagnostics to minimize maintenance downtime.
One of the hallmark routes for the KTX-Eum is its service connecting Seoul with Gangneung, a line initially upgraded for the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics and later optimized for regular KTX-Eum operations. By reducing the former four-hour journey to approximately two and a half hours, it has opened up tourism and business opportunities in Gangwon Province, especially during peak seasons when coastal destinations see increased foot traffic.
In 2024, Korea unveiled the KTX-Cheongryong, or “Blue Dragon,” an advanced EMU-type high-speed train capable of reaching 320 km/h, equipped with cutting-edge technology and a futuristic design. Alongside these, the SRT (Super Rapid Train), operated by SR Corporation since 2016, provides similar service using KTX-Sancheon–type rolling stock but departs from Suseo Station in Seoul, offering a private alternative to Korail-operated KTX.
Together, these developments—especially the introduction of the KTX-Eum—demonstrate Korea’s commitment to expanding high-speed rail beyond its core network, integrating urban centers with regional cities without sacrificing speed, comfort, or efficiency.

More recently, the KTX-Eum, launched in 2021, was introduced as a next-generation electric multiple unit (EMU) designed for semi-high-speed lines such as the Jungang Line. It operates at slightly lower speeds but offers greater efficiency and accessibility on less crowded routes. In 2024, Korea unveiled the KTX-Cheongryong, or "Blue Dragon," an advanced EMU-type high-speed train capable of reaching 320 km/h, equipped with cutting-edge technology and a futuristic design. Alongside these, the SRT (Super Rapid Train), operated by SR Corporation since 2016, provides similar service using KTX-Sancheon-type rolling stock but departs from Suseo Station in Seoul, offering a private alternative to Korail-operated KTX.
The KTX-Sancheon (산천), meaning “mountain and stream,” symbolizes a Korean identity rooted in natural beauty. Built by Hyundai Rotem and introduced in 2010, this train runs at speeds up to 305 km/h and connects major routes such as the Gyeongbu and Honam lines. It is known for its aerodynamic design, enhanced safety systems, and passenger-friendly interiors. The Sancheon represents a major milestone in Korean rail technology, marking the country's move from foreign dependence to domestic innovation in high-speed rail transport. Today, it remains one of the most commonly seen KTX trains on the network, reflecting both reliability and national engineering pride.

South Korea's high-speed rail network is not limited to the KTX brand alone. Since 2016, the SRT (Super Rapid Train) has operated as a competitive alternative, managed by SR Corporation. Although it uses the same KTX-Sancheon-type trains developed by Hyundai Rotem, the SRT distinguishes itself through its departure point—Suseo Station in southern Seoul—providing convenient access for passengers in the Gangnam area. The SRT runs on key high-speed corridors such as the Gyeongbu and Honam lines, directly connecting Seoul to cities like Daejeon, Daegu, Busan, and Gwangju.
With speeds reaching up to 305 km/h, the SRT offers a premium travel experience marked by punctuality, modern interiors, and a strong emphasis on customer satisfaction. Its operation under a separate company from KORAIL introduced healthy competition to the high-speed rail sector in Korea, driving innovation and service improvements across the board. The SRT has become a popular choice for business travelers and commuters seeking direct, efficient, and comfortable journeys. As part of Korea’s expanding rail ecosystem, the SRT highlights the country’s commitment to high-speed connectivity and diversified transportation options.

Photo is shot an early morning at Nanjing South Railway Station in China. The train holdning there is the China Railway High-speed train (250-300 km/h), very cool! The photo is a great example of why you should always have a small camera on you, even if you are busy and carrying a lot of stuff like I did that morning :-)
