This is a rare video of Doctor Yellow from the NTV archives. It also includes a super rare scene of two Doctor Yellows, the previous Doctor Yellow 922 type, coupled together, and the Tohoku-Joetsu Shinkansen 925 type Doctor Yellow. It has been revealed that the special inspection vehicle for the Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen, affectionately known as Doctor Yellow, will be retired. JR Central and JR West each own one Doctor Yellow, which runs on the Tokaido-Sanyo Shinkansen at a maximum speed of 270 km/h to check for distortions in the tracks and abnormalities in the facilities. Normally, the trains are not open to the general public, run only a few times a month, and no timetable is published, so it is popular that "happiness comes when you see them," but JR Central will end its operation in January next year, and JR West will end its operation after 2027. The reason is aging, and in the future, they will install special equipment on general trains and conduct inspections. 🚊Please subscribe to our channel🚊 / @ntv_tetsudobu ◇NTV Railway Department SNS X (formerly Twitter): / ntv_tetsudobu ◇【Latest news LIVE broadcast】NTV NEWS HP https://news.ntv.co.jp #News #Railway #Train
