Thank you for watching the video. The exhaust pipe at the rear of the passenger car. The exhaust coming out of it is the diesel generator. In modern passenger cars in Japan, one out of every five cars is equipped with a generator under the floor, which generates electricity for air conditioning and lighting. You hear a "whoosh" sound when the train is passing, right? That's the sound of the generator. It's pretty loud, and we can hear it inside the car, but many Japanese people don't mind it. I don't like it, so I ride in a car that doesn't have a generator. It's true that it can generate more power than a generator that rotates the wheels, so the air conditioner works too. The Japanese model on the ceiling. Is it made of plastic? If it's plastic, it's probably 1/50 scale, and it's probably a display model made by a manufacturer called "Otaki". If it's a locomotive with a spoked wheel tender, it might be a C55. It was active on Japanese main lines around 1930. The E10 is a tank-type locomotive, so it doesn't have a tender. The E10 is specially designed for hill trains, and was built by a Japanese person, based on locomotives imported to Japan by Lokomotiv-und Maschinenfabrik J.A.Maffei. Later, the hill train tank locomotives were replaced by modern tender locomotives such as the D51, but they were unpopular. This was because the length of the tender spoiled the length of the sidings at small stations in the mountains.

@@user-od9gr9cz4q ご説明ありがとうございます、14ikesanさんも同じことを教えてくださいました！ 残念ながら亡くなってしまった父の美しいプラモデルは本当に素晴らしく、正確には覚えていないのですが、1970年代後半か1980年代前半に購入されたはずです... どういうわけかあなたの美しい国はいつも私たちにインスピレーションを与え、寄り添ってくれます😊

@@14ikesan12 I replied to another comment early this morning, but then had to go to the early shift and now have a short break to thank you for your detailed answer! Smoke at the end of the train: I had suspected something similar, but wasn't sure if it was true. In German steam trains, steam often came out of the end of the train during the heating season if the pipes were leaky! But it was white and not dark like in this Japanese carriage 😊 Japanese model locomotives: yes, they are plastic models, but everything is very detailed! It could very well be that it is this manufacturer as you mentioned and this scale, the original packaging was disposed of after assembly and there is no manufacturer on the models. In any case, there was also a plastic track with a ballast bed and this plastic display case: protected like this, the models still look as new after more than 40 years as they did immediately after assembly 🤗 Best wishes 🖖

@@wandajackson3410 Thank you for your polite reply. Please reply at a time that is convenient for you. That's the advantage of social media. The smoke coming out of the passenger cars in the video is black, right? It's smoke from burning oil. It's not very appealing, is it? Several manufacturers have made plastic models of Japanese railway vehicles in 1/50, but they didn't last very long. In the end, the reason for this is probably that the manufacturers did not have planners who had a strong passion for railways. Personally, I would like Tamiya to make display models of railways in 1/43 or 1/87, but Tamiya shows no interest in railways. They seem to prefer 88mm Flak.

It's a branch line in a rural area, used only by students and locals for short trips. However, I feel reassured when I see the line in good condition.

In Japanese, the "kanji" have multiple meanings for one word, and even our Japanese people need 10 to 15 years after birth to understand the rules. There are many exceptions, and in those cases, we have no choice but to memorize them as exceptions. The word "本（hon）" in place names generally means a "real" . "Hontou（本当）" means "real," so "hon" in place names means "original," "central," or "old." So what is "Nakano（中野）"? Naka = "中" = "central" No = "野" = "field." If we were to directly translate "hon-nakano（本中野）," it would be Old, Central, Field It's a place with that kind of atmosphere even now. Not by the sea, but in the mountains, in the middle of a field. We Japanese also imagine that it is a place like that from the place name. Words that are opposed to "hon" in place names are "shin（新）", "higashi" (東), and "nishi" (西), with "shin（新）" meaning "new", "higashi" (東), and "nishi" (西). Of course "kita" (北＝north) and "minami" (南＝south) are also used. There is no "higashi-nakano" next to "hon-nakano" which will be mentioned this time, but there are "higashi-koizumi" and "nishi-koizumi" next to a station called "koizumi-cho" (= Koizumi Town). In Tokyo there is a place and station called "Nakano", and nearby there are stations called "Shin-Nakano" and "HIigashi-Nakano". Of course, I'm sure there are similar examples of place names in foreign countries too. For example, there are place names like "Old George Town."

Un paysage d’une ville de campagne japonaise.

Thank you for your comment. This is not a particularly beautiful route, but I believe it will continue to change the scenery.

The train is equipped with an ATC system. Signals are displayed in the cab, and the train's operating speed is also suggested. If the train exceeds that speed, the brakes are applied automatically. On the day I rode the train, the driver was relying on the system and did not seem to be desperately gripping the steering wheel.

コメントありがとうございます。ポジティブなコメントをいただくと、本当に取材して良かったなという気持ちになれます。きっと時間が経っても、何かの価値がある映像になるのではないかなと感じています。

Yes, one time they were playing ping pong ping pong.

What surprised me about my trip to Germany was that the system for guiding passengers was also very systematic. Just by looking at the information board on the platform, I could understand from which position I should board the train, and even at local stations, if I just said "How can I get to...", the answer would be printed out. Thanks to this system, I was able to escape from the "walled city of Rothenburg". For lunch, of course, I had a fish mac, which is easy to order in English. Japanese trains are not designed in such a systematic way. I think you need a generous heart or the guts to enjoy being forced to make strange mistakes. After all, Japan is an island country far from other countries. Fish mac is available.

👌 okay… fish mac in Japan 😂… but when I‘m in a foreign land I should try something local and country-specific food such as sushi, sashimi, ramen, miso soup, gyoza, yakitori, tempura and okonomiyaki... You can now find sushi relatively often in Germany, the other dishes are mostly unknown... 🤔

路面電車がある街は、川が流れている町に似て、どこか雰囲気がゆったりしている気がします。

Thank you for your comment. Do I wash my hands? I just did. I will be careful from now on.

I appreciate you watching this slightly old video and writing your comment. As you point out, I'm not sure if I can fully interpret it. It may be difficult. But this is a matter of technique, and it comes down to practice. It's important to get the opportunity. I thank you for that too. The model locomotive in the video is made by Allgemeine. It was used on the Choshi Electric Railway until 1984 (not a model, but the real loco). Apparently it would stumble when pulling 3-4 freight cars.

I watched your video. Thank you. Many models of this type of locomotive are available in Japan. Made by Marklin and Loco. I wonder if there is a Fleischmann? I have one too. However, I haven't given her electricity for a while, so she might be a little upset. It's true that I can't understand the German announcements at all. I can understand about half of them in English. But even without the explanation, I can get a good feel for the atmosphere of European stations. It reminds me of my own travels in the past. It's fun.

The second and third videos are also good. This locomotive runs so fast. And it doesn't derail.

In this video, there is background music of a model locomotive playing. In the song, they sing "Umare wa Doitsu," which means "I was born in Germany."

😂 it’s very nice that there is a japanese song that reminds people where this first little electrolocomotive was built! At another comment you wrote something about „Allgemeine“… I guess the manufacturer of this first locomotive… That could only be the former, great Electrical company "AEG": these three letters are the first of the three german words "Allgemeine Elektricitäts Gesellschaft" - English translation -> „General Electricity Company“ This was a large company that not only manufactured locomotives but everything to do with electricity. Unfortunately, this company no longer exists: dissolved in 1996, locomotives were still built under a different name and management until 1998! Unfortunately, I don't know if there are complete lists of the locomotives built at that time anywhere on the internet, but in principle the Japanese locomotives on the route you have presented are certainly similar to those on the Murnau - Oberammergau local railway in Germany! Although these were not manufactured by AEG, the external design was initially very similar for almost all locomotive companies: angular front ends with usually only two driven axles...

Thank you for your comment. Your comment encourages me. I am in my mid-60s and sometimes find myself overwhelmed by the latest digital devices. I am also overwhelmed by the machines in restaurants. But I am very happy to have encountered this era. People all over the world can see the image of Japanese trains from the comfort of their own desks. I intend to continue taking pictures of Japanese trains in various ways. I would appreciate your continued support.

もとは貨物線（山手貨物線）であることも、おもしろさを増しているかもしれませんね

The railways that run through urban areas in Japan are really like rivers at the bottom of a canyon. I think it would be better if cities could be built with a little more space, but the Japanese are good at this style. Part 2 was just uploaded. It is a video of an endless line of elevated railways.

На станции Синдзюку слишком много людей. Я часто сталкиваюсь с людьми в проходах.

This should never happen. It is because of the lax mentality of railway workers. It is a modern Japanese trend.

Thank you so much！I remenber it.

Thank you for your comment. The area west of Fujisawa Station is a line with a relaxed landscape. In the past, this line had a terrible rush hour, but in recent years, it has been alleviated, and since this video was taken on a holiday, there were not many trains heading to Tokyo. If the houses were built a little more spaced out, it would be a truly attractive landscape, but in the suburbs of Tokyo, that is a dream.

You are a good observer. This line is very crowded. So I got up early on a holiday morning and headed to Tokyo Station. I waited until the weather was clear. It was a calculated move. (^^; Being able to see Mt. Fuji was something I hadn't planned on.

Thank you for your comment. I was also concerned about the camera shaking and noise, but since the weather was so nice, I decided to upload the video. Your positive comments made me feel at ease.

Mount Fuji San You know, I believe.

I was also happy because I didn't think I would be able to see Mt. Fuji from this spot.

@@14ikesan12 White top improove contrast. :) From my dormitory balcony (c.a. 35.3522, 139.3606) with a view of Fuji San (Oct/98) with snow and without (I have a few pictures). The Sagami River boulevard - with the nearby keirin stadium (in my memory) visited on Sunday, and Grand Hotel (!) on the left Hiratsuka St. ... Awesome ! Thank's a lot !

@@MarBiel You live in a nice place. The sea is a little far away, but you can get there by bicycle. If you're too close to the sea, the sea breeze can be a problem, but it's a matter of personal preference. In January, you can see the "ekiden" relay race. The view of Mt. Fuji is a treasure for people who live on the west side of Tokyo.

@@14ikesan12 I know. Around October mid something changed with the end of typhoon ride observed in tv (from Taiwan ...) last days. At Hiratsuka it was weak, but for me this was quite new experien (Saturday-Sunday night). On Sunday I took a walk along Sagami rigth riverside to (under train bridge) Sagami Bay. @ 12:21 on left we see former car parking. Keirin fans ?

Thank you for your comment. I am improving the image quality little by little. Actually, it is not possible to do it little by little. It will be better tomorrow ← I intend to do so. Please be patient with me.

Why ?

I get asked that question a lot. I think it's because I want to focus on the scenery, which is what interests me, rather than the numerous instruments and pillars in the driver's compartment. I want to focus on the direction in which the switches open and the length of the sidings. If I could get my lens inside the cab, I could get a wider angle of view. But the railway company won't allow that. It's also not allowed for TV stations or newspaper cameras. So if I try to take a wide shot from behind the cab, the pillars will be in the picture. There are many Japanese KZbinrs who take videos in this way. Thank you for your comment.

@@14ikesan12 *Thanks for your reply, it was in no way a criticism of your excellent work. With Zoom sometimes video seems shaky, but not always, so I thought to ask if it is possible not to use it, however, I understand there are a few limitations. As always excellent coverage you do and hope to see more from you soon, take care.*

@@RustamShah Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I want everyone who watches my videos (including myself) to be satisfied. If 100% is not possible, then 90%. If 90% is not possible, then 80%. I try to make the process enjoyable for myself. Please continue to give me your feedback. Without it, I won't make any progress.

Thank you very much. Cab view filming is a sensitive topic even in Japan. Many railway companies do not allow filming by TV stations, newspapers, or for commercial purposes. The reason is announced as a measure against terrorism. However, I feel that this is just an excuse, and the real reason is that it is simply considered troublesome to deal with. A president of a railway company told me that if there is even one piece of garbage on KZbin, the railway company will receive a complaint. Is it okay or not? Anyway. The situation is becoming like that. However, filming is still allowed about 10 to 20 years ago, when cab views became a boom and many products were released. The medium is VHS. It is still widely distributed on the market. If that is the case, why were those products allowed and are not allowed now? Now many fans and even mothers with small children stand behind the driver's seat and look ahead. Sometimes people take pictures with their smartphones (I am one of them (^^;) And, although this was really careless, a railway company itself posted the cab view on KZbin. Of course, this has a huge effect, but it makes the reason for regulation disappear. Regulations will likely continue to be strengthened. However, cab views are a great asset for passengers. What if a cab view from 50 years ago was discovered? I would be happy to see it. It would also have great historical value. But that was not possible with the old video equipment. If that is the case, I believe we should do what we can now. Sorry, this is a long post.
