When type 2100 is announced

Japanese Page

---

Keikyu considerably exhibited the mock-up ahead in type 2100 by the putting externals of terrible power, and was announcing the expectation chart in the car.

  Keikyu establishment of 100 1998 year year. The new special express vehicle where this was commemorated appears. A door, a continuous window, the conversion crossing seat made in Norway, and the chassis made in Germany (Seem to become made by Siemens) these two are manufactured from the Tokyu vehicle and the body of Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd.. It becomes type 2100 The numbering in which the   21st century and the 100th anniversary were spent. The design follows type 600. In the car, the conversion crossing seat experimentally introduced by 608-1 enters.

Design that makes 600 two shape door in feeling that sees rendering. The character of front "2100" seems to be a slit where connected part can be seen.

After all, the vehicle of number '21 00'of this illustration doesn't exist so that the slit part will show not Cataban but the fleet number.

It is stopped that the supplement shows the fleet number afterwards, and has been changed only to 2100 Cataban. The part replenishment might be a cause as sure as eggs are eggs. If it is the same, it only has to make all of the one kind.

Daishi line continuous overpass business

Japanese Page

---

  As for the Daishi line between Kawasaki and Kojimashinden, the majority is supposed to be made underground in the forward planning. Moreover, an unwilling thing is to be separated from the main line perhaps for Keikyu.
  Kawasaki-Daishi-vicinity of the port will run under the present orbit between Kojimashinden and Kawasaki-Daishi under the 409th in national road line according to the plan chart. It gets out from the under from the port to Kawasaki Racecourse, it orthogonalizes to the Keikyu main line in front of JR Kawasaki Station through a new station, and the station will be newly established. And, this is an expectation that is done with making underground as for the Daishi line because the track gage of 1067m/m is expected though it becomes an interoperability with Kawasaki running through railway (?). Because the construction of and the Kawasaki running through railway frustrated it in fact, seems not to be done.

  It has flowed because the idea that constructed the Yokohama airport in the shoal in the Yokohama port offing surfaced though the plan to attempt the service of the Tokyo International Airport(Haneda) access from the Yokohama district by extending between Kojimashinden and Tokyo International Airport(Haneda) had lifted, too before.
  Do the be known of Keikyu and no do be known of not wanting to say the Daishi line so much probably because of such as for the forward planning either. I think that there is a statesmanship like Tokyu.
  Though the traveler section of a real three rail using like Hakone Tozan Railway regularly is born when going from the main line will be achieved.

The track gage is irregular of same 1372m/m as a Keihin electric railway at that time. The old model car of the tram type of the Keihin electric railway was appropriated in a virtual branch line. The line that becomes the following Kawasaki streetcar is extended to Kawasaki-Daishi station of Daishi line of Keihin electric railway ahead on October 16. It rode Keihin Kawasaki via the saint line.
  It became abolition in November, 1937 though coast Den that management was not satisfactory was constructed the Tsurumi Rinko railway in the shape that almost ran side by side with this coast Den, and was absorbed to the Tsurumi Rinko railway, and became a Tsurumi Rinko railway orbit line (It is said that it had been called the hung Rin train).
  "Rinko Tsurumi river bridge" that hangs in a present Tsurumi river is a remaining influences of the bridge in this orbit line.

  The home only for descending is increased in Sogo Stores (Yokohama Lumine and adjacent). A present home becomes it only for going up. (1999/16 planned completion dates of year)About the home increase part has become vacant neatly in the building in Lumine. The report passage with the subway Minato Mirai Line is set up. There is speaking that the report passage with the Sotetsu line district that at that time, is now is lost, too.

  There is a respect of atmosphere that construction is started also in Kanagawa, and it doesn't understand whether to become it truly though ..photograph.. Sogo Stores in the place where here is home (^_^;).

The first conversion crossing seat in Keikyu

Japanese Page

---

  It was found that 608-1 of the 600 shape (lead vehicle from Misakiguchi) was equipped with the conversion crossing seat. The cover of yellow was multiplied by the headrest of Somus, and because it was the same color as seats for elderly people such as the capital buses, I thought seats for elderly people first.

  The angle is neatly installed between the drip and the headrest as for the back, and it seems that this angle changes, too, when converting. This might be the test though said that 2100 shape (tentative name) said the appearance next spring is equipped with the conversion crossing seat.

  The floor side where the conversion crossing seat was set up was lifted slightly, and might have been remodeling that detached the seat of the old model set up once.

Uraga -> Kurihama extension plan mark

Japanese Page

As for the extension to Kurihama, the extension from Uraga was planned. However, it changed to a route now by way of the inland because the steep slope land between Uraga and Kurihama approached the coast, and there were a lot of dangerous parts of the sudden fall of the slope, too.

Big map

The direction with the extension plan is wanted from Uraga Station. Uraga Station was elevated, and the plate girder bridge had hung to the road around the station before. It corresponded on the extension plan line of the parking lot in the photograph, it had been banked here before, and it was scheduled to be paved the railway track ..on that... The embankment remains in the other side of the parking lot.

It looks up at Uraga Station. The Keikyu bus that connects Uraga Station with Kurihama Station in the coast circumference is stopping around the station.

Cliff crumble and derailment

Each newspaper that tells derailment accident of Keikyu

Seven in April, 1997 14:47 It went up to the place where the cliff between   Taura and Anjinzuka had collapsed, the train usually thrust, and it was derailed. 19 passenger trainmen owed minor and serious injuries.
  The newspaper to tell this one accident by the color picture insertion also pulled a lot of public notices.

---

  When the newspaper is read, the treatment differs, and is interesting respectively. I want to adhere to the treatment of each newspaper of   Kanagawa Shimbun, Tokyo Shimbun, Nihon Keizai Shimbun, the Sankei Shimbun, Mainichi Shimbun, the Yomiuri Shimbun, and Asahi Shimbun here and to compare it.

	Kanagawa	Tokyo	Nikkei	Sankei	Mainichi	Yomiuri	Asahi

Opposing train	Rapid train	Special express	Fast special express	Cocoroyotoc	-	Fast special express	Special express

  The generation time of the accident is 14:47 according to the inform promptly that projects to Umugieki. Each newspaper company indicates rough time by the expression ".. about 40 minutes" and ".. about 45 minutes", and can say that the difference of its carving for ten minutes or carving for five minutes will have gone out.

  Kanagawa Shimbun and Mainichi Shimbun ..map where the generation place of the accident is shown.. show a big) chart to scale about the crash site ..comparatively in detail.. ..(... Kanagawa Shimbun publishes one in detailed figure only of the local paper. Mainichi Shimbun is 27 publishing, and figure also lacks details like Kanagawa Shimbun. Other newspaper shows the Miura peninsula in the figure, and shows a rough position.

  When thrusting it in the cliff crumble, the speed is a speed. There is no mark concerning the speed Tokyo, Sankei, and Mainichi.
It guesses and it is expressed to Kanagawa Shimbun vaguely, "It was not finished that the speed went up because the derailed train was usually a train, too".
Nikkei¢It noticed though earth and sand just crumbled in this side of the site about 100 meters running at a speed of 80 kilos per hour. It was not in time though it had slammed on the brakes. £It is said that it spoke solving. Hearsay..considerably..detailed..driver..testimony..record.
The testimony and Yomiuri's fact relevance of the driver of "The landslide is generated in the place where it approached the site at the speed of 80-90 kilos" and Nikkei are corresponding.
After guessing the speed, the Asahi : , saying that "The speed is guessed to be about 60 kilos per hour". ¢The special express train . . It runs on the site at a speed of about 80 kilos per hour, and there is a possibility of becoming a bigger accident. £It makes, and the proportion guesses certain to the size of the accident and the speed of the train.

  The taking a picture time and the taking a picture place are the taking a picture time and places of each newspaper. When time is different in both 1 and the social column, it is recorded in the order. Kanagawa Shimbun runs to sites earliest, and the photograph in front of the train with power is taken. The splinter of the glass that the seat is detailed ..detaching (Was the stretcher comparatively used?).. only in Tokyo Shimbun (social column) captures the situation that had been scattered putting the photograph in the car. It is Tokyo, Yomiuri, a Asahi that puts the aerophotograph from the helicopter, and the time approaches. At least three helicopters were turning around the sky over the site at almost the same time.

  The opposing train is how to express a descending fast special express that approaches the site at this time. "Fast special express" is "Special express" and expresses it to Asahi Shimbun and Tokyo Shimbun that the reason for is that the train type of original Keikyu. Kanagawa Shimbun of "Fast special express" and the local paper expressed Nikkei Shimbun and the Yomiuri Shimbun as it was as "Fast" train that was the abbreviation of the user. It gave priority to the expression if both were in finding, and it quoted it from the text inside in case of not being.

  The crash site is a steep slope land of the Keikyu ownership. The problem of each newspaper same is pointed out to the accident in the location of which the judgment with "It is unquestionable" had gone out in the safety check. Moreover, the driver who raises an alarm is taken up with another frame though Tokyo Shimbun sustains severe injuries , saying that "The warning   serious injury motorman and the second collision ..hair's breadth special express.. are prevented". Moreover, each newspaper is reporting that the passenger uses the cellular phone, the 119th was multiplied, and it contacted the relative acquaintance each other.

  Kanagawa Shimbun spares the most a lot of space, and the congestion of Yokohama Station and Kanazawa-bunko Station is told when adhering to the influence of this accident. On the other hand, Tokyo Shimbun is telling only congestion with Shinagawa Station.

  Former great car. Appearance in 1956. As for the one that was the type name of numerical kind (700,730,750,780) in 700 fee counters, it is type 600 and, at first, Ban in the back. The first in Keikyu and high performance vehicles where various new departures such as light body, high-speed motors, and power generation braking were adopted. The classman trains of a fast special express and the special express, etc. were mainly operated in the vehicle at the crossing seat center. It became a design refined more than type 500 two pieces in the front side though it was a window. Afterwards, it retires by the appearance of type 2000. A part of vehicle is transferred to the Takamatsu Kotohira electric railway in Shikoku after it remodels it, and is still active as type 1070.

The site of Hiranuma station

  There is a dome only of the iron frame on elevated between Yokohama and Tobe. This is old Hiranuma station that burns down in the large air raid on May 29, 1945 in Yokohama. The use stop had been done as for Hiranuma station since November 20, 1944 before it made an air raid for the reasons for the saving of the electric power etc. in the Tokyu annexation age.

  It will be preserved as a war relic depending contrary to a mayor at that time though dismantlement was decided once after the end of the war. I hear that paint is repainted and the iron frame part was being preserved now.

  However, such an anecdote might be some day forgotten. After the track maintenance articles etc. from which the signboard etc. that show the intentional preservation as the war relic are put on the home are arranged, it is necessary to set it up. It is important to make it understand in the train that passes over here.

However, superannuation was not able to be endured still. The structure part of the upper layer (domed part) has been finally completely cut out.
