Railroads in JAPAN!

Every wondered what freight railroading looks like in Japan? Watch this interesting YouTube video I found, showing some sort of Japanese intermodal trains passing through a station. Also take a careful look at the tracks themselves, you'll notice they are much narrower in guage than American or European mainlines. I'm not sure, but I believe the freight railroad tracks in Japan are only 3'6" apart, where in America and Europe, they are 4'8".
