Gee on my line the LIRR, we just have a passanger take over. (referring to the recent events where an engineer let a passanger run the train during the PM rush hour.) Because of this the LIRR is looking into engineers wearing uniforms like the Japanese.

Damn those traction motors sound awesome... almost like a violin... :)

I love the etiquette. The incoming engineer must bow to the outgoing engineer, the outgoing engineer must close the door for the incoming engineer. Then the conductors all salute each other.

A motor sound of 2100Type is marvelous, too.

A singing train is 1000Type 1st and 2nd edition and 2100Type.

VVVF - I did a double take when I saw your post and then your Avatar, very creative!

Thank you Bernard.

 

I like this Train.

However, I am disappointed.

We get impossible to hear this motor sound in the future.

As for this motor, made in Siemens K.K. (Germany).

 

KEIKYU decided to change it in a Japanese motor.

because it took a supply cost.

 

Actually, 2165F didn't sing by exchange of a motor. :crybaby2::crybaby2:

Keikyu is my favorite private railway operator.  In addition to smart crew changes, train coupling/uncoupling is fast and efficient, as at Keikyu Kamata station, where trains are divided, with one going on to Haneda Airport.  Here is an interesting video of the single slip switch in operation at that particular station:

What a complex switch and how did they shoot that video. It really shows the details of the operation!
