Once again, some Keikyu action, this time at crew change and depot point Kanagawa Shinmachi Station. Down trains during the later morning rush, in this case a twelve car ltd. express, with the last four cars unoccupied, arrives, uncouples, and departs. The rear four car consist then pulls up, and boards passengers, and proceeds as a local for Uraga. Total time from full stop to departure, including uncoupling: less than 1 minute. Apparently this operation occurs at this station around 10 times daily, in the down direction. In this case, the rear portion goes out of service, and reverses and crosses over to access the depot tracks.
