Railway crossing, vehicles on Yumesaki Line, Osaka

[bikkuri bahn]

Interesting video, location is the Shimayacho Crossing, near Ajikawaguchi Station on JR West Yumesaki Line. Numerous shots of the various types of commercial trucks that can be seen. This YouTube user has other railway crossing videos of locations in the Kansai area.

The video was shot from the east end of the platform at JR West Ajikawaguchi Station looking east.

 

I can understand why you see a large number of trucks carrying coiled steel (there's a large Nippon Sumitomo Steel plant very close to this crossing), but why the large number of cement trucks? I don't see any cement plants near this crossing.

Looking at google maps showed something interesting. There WAS as ready mix plant up the street from that crossing, but it apparently was recently demolished, since different views in street view show the plant there and then work being done on the site. So all those cement trucks are probably making deliveries to the ready mix plant being replaced by something else.
