railsquid Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Blast from the past - some old photos from the Ouito Line in 2006 I didn't realise I had: KiHa 52 (Itoigawa, 2006-05-26) by Rail Squid, on Flickr KiHa 52 (Itoigawa, 2006-05-26) by Rail Squid, on Flickr Former engine shed at Itoigawa (2006-05-26) by Rail Squid, on Flickr Kiha 52 (Minami-Otari, 2006-05-26) by Rail Squid, on Flickr 7 1 Link to post
Kiha66 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Woah, so cool! I didn't realize any of the 52 series were still running, is this unit still in operation? Link to post
railsquid Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) All withdrawn around 2010, I think. That nice engine shed is of course no longer there either. Edited December 17, 2020 by railsquid 1 Link to post
railsquid Posted December 23, 2020 Author Share Posted December 23, 2020 Either Hachioji Daiichi has just gone critical, or a Hachiko line 209-3100 series is heading into the sunset. Hachiko Line, approaching Hachioji (2020-12-15) by Rail Squid, on Flickr 5 Link to post

Yavianice Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 This is a very cool museum, I really enjoyed my visit in the before times. Especially the bathhouse with its beautiful mural. Link to post
railsquid Posted January 22 Author Share Posted January 22 A while back I was minding my own business on the Seibu Shinjuku line between Takadanobaba and Seibu Shinjuku when I was bemused to see this rather worn Boso-liveried 209 series trundle past on the Yamanote freight line.

[...] No idea where it was going, probably somewhere it won't be coming back from. Could have been a driver training run? In the past, a Tozai Line E231-800 Series set was also spotted on the Yamanote Freight Line, being used for the same purpose. Link to post
