Woah, so cool!  I didn't realize any of the 52 series were still running, is this unit still in operation?

All withdrawn around 2010, I think.

 

That nice engine shed is of course no longer there either.

Either Hachioji Daiichi has just gone critical, or a Hachiko line 209-3100 series is heading into the sunset.

This is a very cool museum, I really enjoyed my visit in the before times. Especially the bathhouse with its beautiful mural.
