Sacto1985 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 I just saw on NHK World that JR West Takatsuki Station has flooding from a burst water main. You can forget about train travel between Kyoto and Osaka on both JR West and Hankyu, though I'm not sure if Keihan trains, whose main line is south of the Yodo River, has been affected.

Densha Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 That's also a way to move a train... Link to comment
railsquid Posted June 18, 2018 Author Share Posted June 18, 2018 Yup, apparently the 3rd rail was damaged by the earthquake. Link to comment
JR 500系 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 Oh my... those railroad workers are tough! I hope everyone in Japan pulls through and stay safe... Meanwhile in Tohoku, another trouble brews and delays were in place... just a week ago the Shinkansen hit a man in the tunnel... This truly hasn't been a good time for JR companies... Link to comment

Lightweight cars with roller bearings on level track are easy to move by pushing. Great video! All the best, Mark. Link to comment
