During a high-speed rail outreach trip to Japan May 11-12, 2010, U.S. Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood experienced firsthand Central Japan Railway’s cutting edge high-speed rail technology, the same technology JRC hopes to bring to the Baltimore--Washington and the Northeast Corridor in the near future.  Secretary LaHood, accompanied by JRC’s Chairman, Yoshiyuki Kasai, rode on JRC’s Superconducting MAGLEV (SCMAGLEV)--the world's speed record holder at 581km/h (361mph).  At a press conference held at the conclusion of his visit with JRC, Secretary LaHood commented that, "We (the U.S.) are right at the beginning of an opportunity for American cities to be connected by high-speed trains," and further said that he was, ". . . delighted with this opportunity to really experience all the technology."
