Asia
In Asia, there is rapid growth in passenger railways, especially high-speed trains. The growth of high-speed can all be attributed to the opening of Japan’s Shinkansen (aka Bullet Train) in the 1960s.
You will find Japan’s famous Shinkansen, new Maglev and other railways. South Korea and Israel are also featured. The growing network in China should be featured soon.
