Dat shine, doh: the speed clean routine of the Tokyo Shinkansen

You may or may not know about the Japanese bullet trains, otherwise known as 新幹線 Shinkansen, some of the fastest trains in the world.


Japan has many shinkansen and there are usually many in use at one time. Not to mention that skinkansen only stop at the station for a mere 12 minutes before they are off again to another destination.

One has to wonder, how is the upkeep of so many trains dealt with while also trying to manage a strict and fast-paced schedule?
