The Seiyo Shinkansen is a line of the Joban Shinkansen network, connecting Central South in Fuka, Joban with Lamtsu in Sorano, the two biggest cities in the Ngo-Tin-Lamtsu-Fuka growth triangle. Operated and owned by Harmony Rail Transit (Joban), it is a southward continuation of the Tohoku Shinkansen and serves other major cities such as Fung Yuen. The Shinkansen route is one of the shortest in the world, with the distance between some stations being comparable to the North-South Line. The Galaxy completes the trip from Central South to Lamtsu in under an hour, reaching a maximum speed of 200km/h. The Nagano and Shima Shinkansens continue the route eastwards towards Joetsu Prefecture.
