Ibsen Kurono Interurbans

[bill937ca]

Old videos of Meitetsu 600V interurbans running on lines out of Kurono station and operating base by RVDRV.  The classic 750 series interurbans reminiscent of American interurbans were retired in 2001 with the closure of the Tanigumi line. THe Ibi line linking Gifu with Kurono closed March 31, 2005.  Both the 750s and 510-520 series models  have been available from Modemo.

 

Kurono Station was a small but busy local private railway junction. Today Kurono station is a rail park.

Edit: At about 2:30 in the video below a two car 510 train arrives at Kurono behind 752.  Then 752 departs on the shuttle to Hon-Ibi.  In the background 751 departs for the a trip on the Tanigumi branch line.  Then the 510 train moves out of camera range and reverses ends prior to departing on another trip back to Gifu.  The 510 cars were retired in 1997 with the delivery of the 780 cars.
