JR East to introduce new Shinkansen in 2013

Japanese railway company East Japan Railway Co. has officially announced the introduction of a new series of Shinkansen bullet train in spring 2013.

The new E6 series trains will be connected with the E5 series on the Tohoku Shinkansen Line and run at the speed of 320 km/h (about 200 mph) in the section between Tokyo and Morioka. The E6 series will run alone at 130 km/h (about 80 mph) on the Akita Shinkansen Line between Morioka and Akita.

The lead vehicle will feature a 13-meter long sleek nose to reduce air drag and noise.

You can see a picture of the new train here.
