i gonna try to translate it with my limited english...

"the first 300/h experience of taiwan shinkansen.

the world's first commercial running high speed train(hst) is japan shinkansen in 1964. after, other countries had also begun to developp their own hst systems. currently, the countries who have a hst system are japan, france, germany, italy, spain, swiss, usa, and more recently korea.
in 2006, taiwan is going to be the next country equiped with a hst system.

hst system's time in taiwan has not been long...
from the beginning of its construction in 2000 to its final connexion's preparation in 2006, 6 years have been spent.

hst's railways use the international standing width
so in essence, its stability is better than the taiwan traditionnal railway's,which is more cramped...
plus, there is no juncture between the rails
so there is no tremor during travelling
plus, the railcars theirselves are equiped with a special anti-shaking system
so you're not under the impression to be riding in a train
with a car driver's techinical words, i'd say the "driving feeling is more blurry"
anyhow, its is certainly more comfortable than taiwan railway' traditionnal trains.

let view the pictures..."
