INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE ON A HIGH SPEED RAILWAY
Despite consistent operation at 200 km/h, cars on the Tokaido Shin Kansen now cost less to maintain on a distance-run basis than JNR's 3-ft 6-in gauge electric railcar fleet which is limited to 120 km/h. As a result of a review of maintenance procedures for rolling stock and fixed equipment, the labor force now used to maintain 515 km will be redeployed in 1972 to cover the 165-km San-yo extension as well. Periodic inspection and maintenance routines are given and failures of electrical equipment over a five year period are itemized.
