I've had a similar experience with an ICE train going through a provincial station on a very straight track outside Berlin. Unlike in (most?) stations in Japan, there are no gates between platforms and track. I was standing maybe two-three meters away. (Took a step back initially out of fear of aerodynamic effects.) Damn, that was impressive! The roar, ground shaking, and how fast it was gone. On a later ICE trip over that track, I observed that the train was doing 200 km/h at that point. ICEs can go 250-300 or so (on suitable tracks, which aren't many) based on model.
