Gobalopper Posted October 23, 1999 Share Posted October 23, 1999 Just received a new map from James Kirwin called New Japan. Look below for a caption on what its about or take a look at the readme and preview:I lived in Japan from 92-97. During this time JNR was privatized. One of the biggest problems the new company faced was the inefficiency of its lines. This had been exacerbated over the years by politicians seeking Shinkansen (Bullet train) lines in their districts. Massive amounts of government money would then flow into the region for the construction of the extremelyexpensive lines - filling the coffers of contractors who would then pass on favors to the politician. Since the demand was not there to pay for this construction, JNR began to accumulate massive amounts of debt.Download it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
