Japan first introduced high speed rail in the early 1960’s, modernizing the world’s understanding of travel. Other countries such as Belgium, China, France, and Spain all have hopped aboard with the idea of bullet trains being a safer and more efficient way to travel. The construction of bullet trains in the United States has been mentioned in the past, with President Barack Obama giving a speech back in 2009 supporting the development of bullet trains in America (Whitehouse). Texas Central, a…

The California High Speed Railroad should not be built because of the rising money. The money needed for the project is continuously rising. The amount of money approved by the citizens was $9.95 billion. However, it rose to $13.5 billion. Then, it increased to $48.6 billion. The money kept rising from millions and billions! The “final” cost to build a high-speed rail line between San Francisco and Los Angeles by 2028 is predicted to be to a grand total of about $67.6 billion. It is claimed that…

The supersonic train, dubbed Hyperloop One, is Elon Musk’s own input on how to solve one of the many inconveniences of everyday life: traffic and congestion. This train would travel in a separate tubes at record breaking speeds in hope to make driving to around more bearable. However, with new technology comes new questions, and stakeholders are wondering, for the most part, is it too good to be true? And other questions of safety and if this new technology will actually make a difference and…

Will a High Speed Railway System Be Good for California’s Economy? Imagine living in San Francisco yet working in Los Angeles. It is hard to imagine due to the limited transportation options like airfare or driving. Picture a family from Germany flying in to LAX, and they would want to see the Golden Gate Bridge in Northern California. Now consider the fact that it is possible doing that approximately in just two hours and thirty minutes. California has a great opportunity to develop this…

As a body which was set to oversee development of the railway system, the Railway Investigation Office had the main function of carrying out studies, applying the results gotten from the studies and testing out the materials. In 1913, it became known as the Research Institute before it was restructured in 1942 as the Railway Technical Research Institute. The standards of the railway in Japan had fallen behind those of other railways around the world by 1945 (Seojima 5). This realization prompted…

Specific Purpose: To inform my audience about the impact of Transcontinental Railroad that it had on people living in those regions. Central Idea/Thesis Statement: The Transcontinental Railroad allowed many communities to flourish, it allowed people to travel more easily but it also ended up resettling much of the population. INTRODUCTION I. Today if anybody decided to travel they would either do it with a car or plane but once upon time the train was the most reliable option. II. The…

California High Speed Railroad is a railroad managed by the HRSA (The California High Speed Railroad Authority.) Its purpose is to connect the mega regions of California. Sounds like a good plan? Well, there are some negative reasons why this railroad should not be built. The railroad should not be built for the following reasons: There is Still No Legitimate Funding Plan; the Costs Look Like nothing what the Voters Approved, and Shrinking Ridership Numbers. The California High Speed…

The Decline of General Aviation Airports The Rise of General Aviation In the early days of aviation, aviators were limited to flying during daylight hours, in near ideal weather conditions. Early pilots were not regulated as they are today, and would take off and land their aircraft in any flat open area, often a farmer’s grassy field, which allowed them to choose their direction relative to the prevailing winds. As aviation grew, pilots began to congregate in common areas, which allowed for…

aerial camera during the World WarⅡ and was officially introduced after the war. What the 500 C released in 1957 was the real turning point for the company, especially with allowing the use of a lens shutter. An interchangeable lens camera often used with a focal plane shutter suffers the fast speed distortion…
