Some corrections; the oldest one is actually 100 series, 200 series is the one looking the same but on a different Shinkansen Line :)
The Shinkansen on the second pic is a normal 700. N700 has a little bit different face ;)

I can read some of it. Just not enough to know what it says.
Some things just don't translate well.
I mean, it's obvious to me what it means but it suffers from what is presumably a literal translation.
The best two I have found were on a pig looking train called a 787 series ("Relay Tsubame") which connected with the Kyushu Shinkansen when it was split in two (It is now joined with the JR West Network at Hakata, Fukuoka). I have posted these, but for those that have not seen them:
