The Series 300 Shinkansen high-speed trainsets for Japan's Shinkansen dedicated high-speed railways were introduced in
1992 on the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen lines for use on the fastest Nozomi services, being capable of 270 kph (168 mph).
As more were delivered (66 trains by 1998) they replaced earlier units on Hikari service and allowed the thus
displaced 100 Series units to finally in turn displace 0 Series units on almost all services.
The styling of these units is something of a 'curved wedge' at the front, replacing the aircraft-style nose cones of
previous Shinkansen trains. The furthest forward point is the very bottom of the pilot. They are painted brilliant
white with a medium-thick blue stripe beneath the windows. In railroading, the pilot is the device mounted at
the front of a locomotive to deflect obstacles from the track that might otherwise derail the train.
Technically, the Series 300 trains are notable for being the first Shinkansen sets to employ three-phase
AC traction motors instead of direct current units.
