Florida Bullet Train

Bullet Train Technology:  Movies

        Throughout this project, I have watched a lot of videos displaying the bullet train technology in action.  After seeing the majority of them, I have picked a few to clearly demonstrate some of the qualities that I feel best represent the concept of a bullet train in real life.  The first two videos depict a bullet train's function, speed, and its ability to integrate with nature in order to form a better infrastructure for society.  Both clips are short ten second films and are shot from a "bird's eye" perspective to get a completely neutral look at the technology.

        The third video is a short clip of a Japanese bullet train from the perspective of a passenger.  For anyone who has questions about the bullet train's ride, this will answer your question.  The title of the clip is Shinkasen (Bullet Train)-smooth ride, and as you watch this clip and see the train speeding past everything in the window, you will also notice how steady the ride is by a couple of drinks sitting comfortably on the passenger's table.

         The fourth video is a news report that focuses on high speed rail in the state of Texas.  The rational that they've developed is the same rational that Florida residents had before the bullet train was derailed by Jeb Bush.
