A little more perspective
JR Central lists the N700S lead car at 3,500 millimeters high in its forward portion and 3,600 millimeters in its rear portion. This reference selects the maximum 3.6-meter car-body height, with the wheels on the rail-contact plane. The artwork shows one lead car from the 2020-series configuration.
The operator gives the lead car’s maximum length as 27.35 meters, compared with 25 meters for an intermediate car. The long aerodynamic nose therefore belongs to the longer end-car reference. The selected height stops at the car body; a raised pantograph on another car would introduce a different endpoint.
