The Shinkansen, or bullet train, is one of the backbones of Japan's passenger rail network. These high-speed rail lines stretch across nearly the entire country, and some trains travel at speeds of up to 320 km/h!
Knowing what a rarity long-distance passenger trains are (especially high-speed ones) where I come from, I knew I had to try one of these trains for myself!

![Air Inuit 737-200 GRAVEL RUNWAY OPERATIONS in Northern Quebec! [4K]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/B3YHzCauIwo/mqdefault.jpg "Air Inuit 737-200 GRAVEL RUNWAY OPERATIONS in Northern Quebec! [4K]
The northern village of Puvirnituq is one of the largest settlements in Quebecs Nunavik region, and sits just above the 60th parallel.
Its home to an airport with a 6,000+ foot runway, making it one of the few airports in the region able to accommodate a 737. That runway though is made of gravel, and so only the 737-200s with a gravel kit can actually use it.
With direct scheduled flights to Montreal, that makes Puvirnituq one of the more relatively accessible places to see a 737-200 in its element.
I found myself there back in April on my way home from Kuujjuaq, and managed to capture one of Air Inuits 737-200s operating an all-cargo flight to and from Montreal. Enjoy this gravel runway action!
