1. How did the advances in the IR lead to the Shinkansen in Japan? Matt Miki

2. Advances • Iron • Coal • Electricity

3. Differences between the Shinkansenand the Steam Locomotive • Steam was slower and used up materials • Shinkansen use more power, however, are more successful • Steam engine ran on steam • Shinkansen runs on electricity.

4. Transitions
