Driving a Shinkansen is vastly different from standard commuter rail due to the specialized signaling and high-speed infrastructure: ATC Signaling : Instead of trackside signals, Shinkansen routes use Automatic Train Control (ATC)
, are designed specifically to push the E2 and other units to their top speeds of 275+ km/h in a simplified environment. OpenBVE.net 🛠️ Developer Insights openbve shinkansen
