 PROFILE
Central Japan Railway sends bullets flying all over Japan. Bullet train operator Central Japan Railway, known as JR Tokai, is one of six Japanese railroads created in 1987, when the state-controlled Japan National Railways (formed in 1949), was privatized. More than 80% of Central Japan's revenues come from the operations of its network of "shinkansen" (high-speed bullet trains), although it also operates 12 conventional lines. The company's Tokaido "shinkansen" lines unite eastern and western Japan at some 175 mph, carrying passengers daily between Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka. Central Japan operates about 1,230 miles of track (about two-thirds of it standard railroad line for its regular trains) and carries about 1.4 million people a day.
