That's because, given current designs and technologies, batteries can't be sized to supply the necessary power and still fit on the train. Diesel engines turning generators don't meet new environmental mandates.

The shinkansen train uses superconducting maglev (short for magnetic levitation) to achieve these incredible speeds. As the train leaves the station, it's rolling on wheels. But as it speeds up, the wheels retract, and the power of magnets allows the vehicle to hover four inches above the ground.
