Differences between the Tokaido-San'yo (Tokyo-Osaka-Hakata) Shinkansen models

Similarly to how in this post there's no way to tell the difference between an E7 and a W7 in the video, I realised that in the photo I reblogged yesterday, I couldn't tell exactly which N700 model it was. So let's go over that briefly.

Now when I say I don't know exactly what those trains were, it kind of doesn't really matter: both trains are technically N700A (Advanced) variants, like this one seen in Okayama. The nitty-gritty part is whether or not the trains were N700As to begin with. The original N700s were all upgraded to A-spec with a few technical improvements (this is why it doesn't matter), but it is still possible to tell whether a particular train is one of the older batch. We have the windscreen markings again, X & K for the original batch, and F & G for the As (with the letters also telling us which JR owns that particular train), but the easiest is to spot the logos on the sides of the carriages. On the above N700A, we see a large A logo in the top-left corner of the picture. And below, we have the logo of the original N700 series, pictured on the prototype on display at the SCMaglev Railway Park in Nagoya.

These sets were upgraded to A-spec, and, rather than re-decorate this part of the carriage, they just added an "A" sticker to the existing logo.

But neither these logos nor the windshield number are visible in yesterday's photo. Original poster hekiqoo tagged Atami as the location of the photo, which means that the two trains can only be of one of the above types due to the shape (we'll get to the newer type soon), but I can't tell exactly which.

Moving on, because there's more...

This N700 variant can only be found west of Osaka. It runs the fast services to and on Kyushu. It can obviously be recognised by its specific livery, a very nice blue-grey base rather than white, and it's shorter. While Tokaido trains have 16 carriages, this version only has 8, leading to station signs at half the gates that say "this train does not stop at this neighborhood". I know these trains are long, but wow!

Of course, we have to mention the most recent addition to the lines: the N700S (Supreme, seen at Himeji). These have new logos on the side, a "heron beak" added to the stripes at the ends, but can also be physically distinguished from its N700A predecessors with different headlights and more boxy fenders. Some friends have said it looks like a hippo!

Finally, I should mention that some 700 series trains are still running between Osaka and Hakata (seen here at Fukuyama). These are not N700s, they're the previous series. The full 16-car sets in very similar white and blue livery to the N700s have been withdrawn, only these grey "RailStar" trains are left, so there's no risk of getting this mixed up with anything else beyond the 700 in the name.

N700S

先日京都に行った際に、 のぞみのN700Sに初めて乗りました。 （ちゃんと時刻表見て狙って予約しました！） しかも奮発してグリーン車。 （ファミリー早割がグリーン車しかとれなかっただけですが😅） フルアクティブ制振制御装置の効き具合は分かりませんが、 今の新幹線ってすごく静かで揺れなくてびっくり。

快晴で富士山が綺麗だったので、 ずっとスマホのビデオで撮ってたんですが、 帰ってから観たらONするの忘れてて何も写ってなかったorz 奇跡的に一枚だけ静止画撮れてました。 相変わらずぼーっとしてます💧

ではでは、素敵な週末を☆ Have a happy weekend ! . (Apr. 23, 2022)
