Joetsu Shinkansen Derails in 2004 Niigata Earthquake
On October 23, 2004, a Joetsu Shinkansen train derailed between Urasa and Nagaoka in Niigata Prefecture after a magnitude 6.6 earthquake struck near the route. The train was traveling about 200 km/h. No passengers or crew were injured or killed. A later Shinkansen derailment occurred on the Akita line in March 2013, when heavy snow derailed a train traveling about 20 km/h. There were no injuries.  ·
