A modern high-speed train, likely a Shinkansen, is stationed at a platform under an illuminated canopy. The sleek design of the train is highlighted by its aerodynamic front and prominent headlights glowing red. The platform is empty, and the surrounding urban environment is visible, with tall buildings in the background. The scene is set at night, as indicated by the artificial lighting and dark sky.
