Hankyu 45 second turnaround at Kawaramachi terminal
bikkuri bahn posted a topic in Japan Rail: Pictures & Videos
One of the faster turnarounds in Japan, I reckon. *additionally notice the peculiar to Hankyu practice of announcing the train arrival track using "~go sen" rather than the common "~ban sen". Apparently this is because the "ban sen" term is used only for rolling stock depot/coach yard tracks on this railway.- 1 reply

Took the Kintetsu Kyoto Line today. Highlight of this route is going across the Yodogawa Bridge, which actually crosses the Uji River despite its name. One of my favorite bridges, it is a Pennsylvania Petit truss type, and is the longest single span truss bridge in Japan. https://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/journalhs1990/12/0/12_0_197/_article
