JR Central operates the famous Tokaido Shinkansen and has been at the heart of railway developments in Japan. Now, the company is working closely with groups in America to increase Japan-US technological cooperation and bring high-speed trains to the Northeast corridor and Texas.
Mr. Nakayama, the GM of JR Central's DC office, will explore the history of Japan's high-speed rail system, discuss the Shinkansen's unparalleled safety record, and give an update on US efforts to create faster rail links, like the proposed SCMaglev system that would take passengers from DC to New York in an hour!
