Bullet train hits the rails in Hokuriku
Engineers in Japan are putting the finishing touches on the country’s latest bullet train line.
The new Hokuriku high-speed railway goes into operation next March in northern Japan.
Officials carried out the first test-run Tuesday morning.
Locals welcomed the new bullet train at every station.
Japan is currently trying to export its high-speed rail technology to the US, with projects in the works for Texas and the Northeast.
