TB JAPAN TAG 🇯🇵 Swan stops Shinkansen bullet train

It is considered the safest high-speed train in the world: Japan's Shinkansen. With a top speed of around 300 kilometers per hour, it is the pride of the nation. Now an animal has slowed it down.

December 3, 2025, 09:10

The Shinkansen is built and operated by several Japanese companies, with Hitachi, Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Nippon Sharyo among the main players. The Japan Railways Group (JR) operates the trains, while various railroad companies such as JR Central, JR East and JR West are responsible for the development and operation of the lines.

In Japan, a swan has slowed down Japan's world-famous Shinkansen high-speed train. A train driver suddenly spotted the animal on the tracks in the north-eastern prefecture of Miyagi and brought his train to a halt - fortunately in time, as the operator announced. Nothing happened to the animal. However, three of the bullet trains were delayed, affecting around 1,300 passengers, according to the Japanese news agency Kyodo. Japan's Shinkansen trains are known for their top speeds of up to 330 kilometers per hour, punctuality and safety.

@PikaPika0105 I would be interested to hear your well-founded opinion on $7012 at the current level

Me too. I see a lot of potential in Kawasaki because they are in some sectors of the future. But the valuation is no longer favorable

@Aktienfox @Tenbagger2024 could become a tenbagger by 2035. They are well on the way to becoming the global market leader in the new hydrogen economy. They have a virtual monopoly on the entire supply chain (transportation in tankers, terminals, etc.). There will be no way around them once hydrogen is here. Japan is helping them very actively by compensating for initial price differences with gas. Unlike in Germany, KHI is also relying on dirt-cheap hydrogen first in order to build up the entire infrastructure with it so that they can then switch to green hydrogen. Very pragmatic. Another interesting field is medical technology. With their Hinotori surgical robot, they are bringing direct competition to the market for Intuitive Surgical's billion-dollar Da Vinci robot. They are applying their existing expertise in robotics here. Such robots are highly profitable and require long-term maintenance. It has already been approved in Japan, but has yet to be approved internationally. A third important area is armaments. Japan is heavily arming itself and at the same time allowing more and more arms exports. Kawasaki specializes in submarines, especially electrically powered ones. This has many advantages over conventional ones. Their Taigei submarines are considered to be among the most modern non-nuclear submarines in the world. They are also developing cruise missiles with a range of 2500 km, which Japan urgently needs as a deterrent and will then probably buy on a large scale. All in all, it can be said that the Group is undergoing radical change. Even in a rather pessimistic forecast, it is still a good investment (even if I am always optimistic, of course) :)

Thank you, I hope there will be a correction.
I also see potential in the robotics sector

@Tenbagger2024 I hope so too. But the big thing would really be hydrogen.

What do you think of $6981???

@Tenbagger2024 is very interesting. Virtually invincible in ceramics with monopolies in materials and machines. Digitization and electrification play into their hands. Stable high margins. The only red flag for me is the almost 50% share of sales in China, which is too high, especially in view of the tensions between China and Japan. So I would rather be with KHI, where the leverage is even greater.

Kawasaki doesn't look bad on the chart either and is at the 200-day line

With them, three delayed trains are newsworthy?

I once read that the high-speed trains are purely prestige projects.
Since the whole technology is not compatible with existing infrastructure, there is a lot more maintenance work and the problem is that you can't simply extend the line later and integrate it somewhere (different track gauges / standards).

In addition, "normal" trains such as the ICE3 already travel at >300 kmh if the track allows it.

That's why something like this has never caught on... 😘

But they are more punctual than the ICE 🙈😂

@Tenbagger2024 Yes, but that's because, just like in France with the TGV trains, they don't have to share the routes with slow freight or regional trains.
