Quake-hit bullet trains resume Tokyo-northeastern Japan services
Shinkansen bullet train services between Tokyo and northeastern Japan resumed Wednesday, 11 days after they were disrupted due to a powerful earthquake that hit the Tohoku region.
The Tohoku Shinkansen bullet train line connected the capital with the region for the first time since the magnitude-7.3 temblor on Feb. 13 damaged electricity poles and bridges in some areas along the line.

Its operator East Japan Railway Co. said the total number of high-speed trains on the line will initially be limited to about 80 percent of the pre-quake level with services expected to return to normal in about a month.
