Accelerating from Kurume to Hakata by bullet train

            At the speed and altitude over rooftops of a stunt plane the experience of riding the roomy and smooth sailing Shinkansen of 2023 is something like buzzing the crops in the barley fields but without the engine noise or high insurance premiums and risk. Thinking back to the world's first high-speed trial between Tokyo and Osaka in the 1960s, the longer, faster, and higher capacity of today's bullet trains might surprise those first riders and the people who dreamed up the idea of going faster and farther than steam, diesel, or electric trains of the 1960s. If the future brings MagLev or some almost frictionless alternative to public transportation, maybe the passengers will look back to 2023 and feel nostalgia for "the old days."
