The Birth of the Shinkansen

The Grandpa of Trains: The ShinkansenWho is he? This is the very first Bullet Train, the Series 0! Because he is the oldest, we can think of him as the friendly "Grandpa" of all fast trains.Where is he from? He was born in Japan a long time ago. Smart engineers worked very hard to draw and build him so people could travel faster than ever.What makes him special? Even though he looks like he's wearing glasses and has a mustache now, he was the fastest train in the world when he started! He is shaped like a bullet to zoom through the air.
