I wonder if any members here were caught up in that crash?

Here is another item from the Japan times re EDO CASTLE.

Will Edo Castle's tower rise again? | The Japan Times Online

It sounds like a good idea. The EDO period was special so why not do something about it?

They were both maintenance trains... Meaning that there were no passengers - therefore no one caught in the accident.

As the worst, someone might have been caught in the delay caused by the cleanup.


If anyone is trying to find me… Tamyuun on Instagram is probably the easiest.

I have heard the shinkansen has had a spotless record (for passenger train wrecks) since it opened in 1964.
