Line descriptions and Tokyo Station 3D view on JRTR.net

[scott]

Most of you probably know about this site, but on this page:

 

http://www.jrtr.net/backissue/index_backissue.html

 

you can check out the back issues of this journal, which, at least in the recent editions, have back-cover stories titled "New Japanese Railway Scenery," with pictures, maps, line descriptions, etc. (The images only seem to appear in the PDF versions, at least for me.)

 

{EDIT: Oops, there's a page with direct links to all the "Scenery" articles:

 

http://www.jrtr.net/scenery/index_scenery.html    }

 

There's also a 2-page pdf about Tokyo Station that has a 3D cutaway-view plan of the station:

I'd seen that magazine before, but not those specific features. Nice find.

 

More of the 3d station maps can be had on JR Easts website here:

The jrtr book is a really nice little book if you want to get a great details on how jr trains work! unfortunately its a bit out of date now 2001 and looks like they are out of stock. i have a copy if you ever want to borrow it. luckily most of the book is available there in the pdfs!

 

cheers
