Overview:
In March 2011, the Great East Japan Earthquake severely damaged the railway infrastructure in the Tohoku area. See some of the advanced safety measures that railway operators have been developing since then, such as the "early earthquake warning system" to automatically stop the Shinkansen, the "seismic hazard simulator for a railway" that assess potential damage, and the support on hand for stranded commuters. Then, join avid rail-fan Miki Murai on the "Steam Locomotive Ginga", a shining symbol of the recovery effort.
