old Kintetsu 6200 -> "new" Kintetsu 16200 Blue Symphony Limited Express train ...

[Gordon Werner]

Kintetsu has launched their new "Blue Symphony" limited express service with their refurbished 6200 series train set (now Kintetsu 16200)

 

 

 

 

this is a normal 6200 series trainset

Interesting! I don't quite get why did they make the windows of the cafe car so short if it's a sight seeing tourist train, but otherwise it's a nice set with an elegant paint. The different window sizes on each car are the result of the filled in doors having a different width than the old windows.

The middle car is a bar lounge car, such an atmosphere dictates more subdued furnishings and lighting setup, hence the windows set at eye-level when seated for your glass of wine or cocktail.

I wonder has Nankai done something similar for trip between Nankai Namba and Gokurakubashi Stations near Mount Koya.
