This train runs in the Bullet train section while checking the bend
in the railway track, condition of the overhead wiring, situation of
signal current etc.
The pet name of this train originates from the
work it does like checking the track, electrical installation and
signal equipment, and from the yellow color of the train.
The condition of the railway track is detected using various sensors kept below the floor level. The measured data is used for maintenance and repair work.
The Japanese bullet train takes pride in safety for not having even a
single fatal accident over a long period of 50 years, thanks to this
honest work since the bullet train started for business.
Though there
are a lot of high speed railways in other countries where only the
speed is the selling point, but none of the counties have this level of
continuous safety record in high speed railways.
This train Doctor yellow could not be seen often because it does not have a timetable, and runs during the night time and the time gap available in between the running of the bullet train about three times a month. Due to this scarcity in running, it is very popular among the railway fan and children to have a glance at the running of this train.
