Welcome to the second episode of Train Talk, a Video Podcast from the team building your Texas High-Speed Train!

Once constructed, the Texas Train will shuttle passengers between North Texas, Houston and the Brazos Valley in less than 90 minutes, at speeds of up to 205 mph, and using the world’s most advanced high-speed train technology.

This episode is part 2 of our interview with Texas Central's Rail Systems Director Paul Waby. Paul is one of the World's foremost experts on the Shinkansen system and what it takes to transfer that technology to another market. Paul was part of the team that built the Taiwanese Shinkansen system, which began operations in 2007. Just like its predecessor system in Japan, the Taiwanese Shinkansen line has been running for over 11 years with ZERO injuries or fatalities due to operational accident.

Paul discusses the amazing safety performance of the Shinkansen system during the earthquake in Fukushima Japan. This system kept all of its passengers safe throughout extraordinary circumstances.
