Ah yes, the Chuo Shinkansen...At a cost of ~$100 billion, imagine what kind of HSR we could have here... Though I don't really like their NIMBY solution of putting 60% of the line being underground... |

Proponents have sworn up and down that maglev would cost a mere $10 million per mile (wow, HBLR cost ten times as much) and operating costs would be 3˘ per mile, but already the estimated costs for infrastructure are being driven up in the USA to $50 million per mile and higher. It'd be remarkably fast runs from city to city, even transcontinental (NY-Chicago in possibly less than three hours, NY-LA in nine hours, NY-Miami in 4:45), but we still have those pesky infrastructure costs to address (a maglev from NY to Chicago would be $8 billion by the $10 million per mile estimate after all). |

I think he actually only did it once, in "Gojira 1984" (Godzilla 1985, in the US). Shinkansen didn't exist in 1954, so he attacked a sleeper train in the very first one.

(Phys.org) —Moving toward its goal of building a high-speed magnetic levitation (maglev) train line between Tokyo and Osaka, Central Japan Railway Co has resumed testing of its L0 (L Zero) train—demonstrating speeds just above 310 miles per hour (500 km per hour). That makes it the longest and fastest maglev train in the world.New test run video. |

Nice!The great thing about this test track is that it's intended to become part of the actual route, so the recent extension is kindof like continued construction on the route before the official start of construction in 2014. |

Most of the cost involved in doing evacuated tube transport is going to be the tunneling. The Chuo Shinkansen is already going to be built with tunnels along some 60% of its length, and will be required to have long segments of covered tracks even when outside the tunnel to disperse tunnel booms. In that case doing ETT over some portion of the route with continuous tunnel or covered external areas likely wouldn't lead to an outrageous cost increase. The airlocks between the ETT and exposed segments would be fairly challenging as they'd likely have to be several miles long and draw a near vacuum in a matter of minutes.Interestingly, the Japanese seem none too enthusiastic about the spartan station design. |
