Okay, time for some more Japanese trains!
The Nankai Series 50000 was already covered earlier in the thread (the one that looks like a Dreyfuss Hudson that collided with Sonic the Hedgehog).
Here's the JR Hokkaido KiHa 283 (Express DMU):
JR East Series 251 (Express EMU). The two windows on top allow passengers to see forward:
JR East Series 255 (Express EMU):
JR West Series 281 (Express EMU):
JR Freight Series M250--that's right, a 16-car freight EMU!
JR West Series 500 Shinkansen:
JR East Series E4 Shinkansen:
JR East Series E5 Shinkansen:

This video can top it off.
