Doctor Yellow

Doctor Yellow is the yellow inspection train of the Shinkansen. About once every ten days, it checks the state of the track and the overhead lines.

The JR Central train ended its inspection runs in January 2025 and retired. JR West aims to end inspection with its own Doctor Yellow in 2027 or later.
