What type of railroad do bullet trains drive on?

When did electric trains take over from steam?
Electric trains began to take over from steam in the early 20th century, with significant advancements occurring in the 1920s and 1930s. The transition was largely driven by the introduction of electric traction systems, which offered greater efficiency, speed, and lower operational costs. By the mid-20th century, many urban transit systems and intercity services had fully adopted electric trains, marking a decline in steam locomotive usage. However, steam trains remained in use for freight and heritage services for several decades afterward.

What fuel do bullet trains use?
'Bullet train' is a name coined by the English language media for the Japanese Shinkansen high speed trains. These trains are electrically powered and draw electric current from a VERY high voltage catenary system above the track.
How does a modern electric train generate power?
Electric trains usually get power from overhead power cables or an electrified third rail below. Locomotives can use diesel fuel to generate electric voltage to run the engine.
