Hello all,
From time to time, I'll also post pictures of trains I photographed during one of my many travels. These posts have no particular theme other than trains. There is no time order in the pictures as well. It's just trains and trains for the sake of trains.
09-03-2013 Kamata station. Tōkyū 7600 Series with 'Kabuki' style painted fronts.
09-03-2013 Tamagawa station. Tōkyū 7700 Series.
09-03-2013 Jiyūgaoka station. Tōkyū 9100 Series on one of its last days on the Tōyoko line.
09-03-2013 Kamata station. Two Tōkyū 7700 Series stand ready to operate a new service on both the Tamagawa and Ikegami line.
10-03-2013 Yokohama station. A Yokohama Minatomirai Y500 Series stands ready for a through run to Motomachi-Chūkagai (Chinatown) on the Minatomirai 21 line (21 standing for the 21st century).
10-03-2013 Tamagawa station. Now disappeared from the Tōkyū Tōyoko line are these Tōkyō Metro 03 Series. The only 18m length trains still in operation on the Tōyoko line as well.
10-03-2013 Tamagawa station. A Tōei Mita line 6300 Series rushes into the station. Personally, the Mita line is of much interest, because of the large number of different rolling stock used who all have a different front design. I'll probably spend a day trying to catch all types on camera in the future.
03-02-2013 Yokohama station. A Keikyū 2100 Series and a JR East E233-1000 Series next to each other in a symbolic way. Both companies have a heavy rivalry going on for the sake of rapid passenger transport between Shinagawa in Tokyo and Yokohama. All in all, Keikyū is the winner in both speed and price.
03-02-2013 Mizunokuchi station. A Keikyū 2100 Series and N1000 Series, 10th type with stainless steel body, stand next to each other on the southernmost point of the Keikyū network. In the future, this station will probably remain the final point of the line, since nobody can tell if the line is being extended.
03-02-2013 Namamugi station. A 4-door 800 Series is being overtaken by a 1000 Series, aluminium body. I love these 800 Series, as they really have a Shōwa (pre 1990s) atmosphere and are incredibly powerful.
03-02-2013 Yokohama station. A 8700 Series from Sōtetsu is getting ready again for an express run to Ebina.
03-02-2013 Futatamagawa station. A 10000 Series in a seldom 8-car formation on a local train service from Yamato to Yokohama. Usually, trains on the Sōtetsu network are 10-cars long, but there are also 8-car trains for local runs outside of the rush hour.
Cheers!
Toni
