Description
The Great Rolling Stock Hall is the centerpiece of SCMAGLEV and Railway Park, which opened in Nagoya in 2011 to replace the old Sakuma Rail Parlk. Unlike most railway museums, it focuses on the development of modern high-speed railways, and the trains on display are mostly electric railcars and Shinkansen bullet trains. From foreground/right to background/left, the rolling stock seen here consists of:
- 1937 electric railcar Kumoha 52004 "Ryuden"
- 1973 electric railcar Kuha 381.1 "Shinano Limited Express"
- 1971 Shinkansen Series 0 car 21.86 (as Hikari K17)
- 1986 Shinkansen Series 100 car 123.1
- 1990 Shinkansen Series 300 prototype car 322.9001
- 1997 Shinkansen Series 700 prototype car 723.9001 (as C1)

With the open spaces, bright lighting, and decorative floor, the hall looks like a cross between a futuristic railway station, an international airport, and a sports-car showroom.
