bill937ca Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 The Seibu Railway is a Tokyo area private railway which operates two main lines from Ikebukuro and Shinjuku. Both lines meet across platform at Tokorozawa and cross close by. http://www.seibu-group.co.jp/railways/tourist/rosen.pdf Link to comment
bikkuri bahn Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 The track arrangement at Tokorozawa appears to include 3 double slip switches- always fun to see these examples of complicated trackwork. On related Seibu news, the 30000 series has won the "2009 Kids Design Award"- apparently awarded to "designs that impart safety and ease, as well as exhibiting creativity and looking to the future, all while promoting easier raising of children"- or so the press release says: http://www.seibu-group.co.jp/railways/kouhou/news/2009/0722_2.pdf Link to comment
Mudkip Orange Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Thanks! That first terminal outside Tokyo, where the theme-park line branches off, would make an interesting prototype. Link to comment
