[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by Modelcar .....I don't know the figures precisely for safety in Japan re: the Bullet Train but , I believe they have a rather great safety record over the years with no catastrophic accidents. [/quote] One reason for this is that Japanese railway workers have to live with some of the strictest rules and safety regulations you can imagine. One example I can think of specifically is that all Japanese railway workers must stop before crossing any track and point with their finger in both directions to see if there is a train coming, even when off duty. I remeber seeing this on TV and there was a scene showing probably 20 or more guys walking across a yard and each one of them having to do this at each track they crossed. Not doing so would probably have very negative consequences. Rules like this may seem to be a bit overboard, but I suppose it must work. I wonder how railroaders over here would react to the type of regulations the Japanese have?
