20 Years of Quadrupled Line Construction, Odakyu Electric Railway Front View

Odakyu Railway is one of the busiest railway in Japan. Especially during the morning rush hour inside the Tokyo Metropolitan, over 30 trains run toward Shinjuku terminal per one hour. To increase route capacity, quadruple track project began in 1985, completed in 2018. Four front views in this movie are taken in 2000, 2006, 2011 and 2020.
Before 2000, only 2.4km along the stations between Izumi-Tamagawa and Kitami had been quadrupled, and extended 8.8km to Umegaoka station in 2004. Quadrupled Tama River Bridge opened in 2009. In 2018, final underground quadrupled line construction between Umegaoka and Yoyogi-Uehara stations was completed.

No wonder Odakyu map in MSTS are so inaccurate it’s changed so much I realised that map in MSTS are accurate if you compare it to a 2000 footage.

It was my favorite route, when I used to play MSTS. Unbeliveable, how much this route has changed since 2000. To call all those changes as "progess" is not enough.

@@michak.9042 The 7000 LSE and Kiha 31 are my favourite trains in MSTS for two different reason LSE for beauty and Kiha 31 for awesome engine sound. I think I need to go back and play them for nostalgia sake. Yeah this route change like crazy and some place in this route that used to be above ground are now underground that how crazy the changes is.

@@pivnichni Really? The only accurate japanese route available that I could find is the Omura Line. Could you tell us where we could find this renewed version of the route?

[@TrainSounds]

I hope that the current Microsoft train simulator eventually includes the new version of this line

Speaking of Cab ride videos, " lorirocks777 " videos. However, I saw a genuine Cab ride video for the first time in a filming of a Japanese railway connected to a concrete jungle that condensed the passage of time for 20 years. great! Great! I am impressed and praise the four multi-screen images, their shooting technology and editing ability. Amesh2009's mystery deepened even further. While watching the changes in the Quadrupled Line, I was also worried about the changes in the buildings along the line (with or without). In addition, the reason why the Cab ride video shooting was possible was found out from the in-car broadcast before arriving at Shinjuku station. :-) (I used Google Translate) Cab ride動画と言えば、lorirocks777さんの動画。しかし、20年間の時の流れを凝縮したコンクリートジャングルに連なる日本の鉄道の撮影で、正真正銘のCab ride動画を初めて観ました。 凄い！　素晴らしい！ 四つのマルチ画面映像、その撮影技術と編集能力に私は感動し称賛しています。 Amesh2009さんの謎が更に更に深まるのでした。 Quadrupled Lineの変化を観ながら、沿線の建物の変化（有ったり無かったり）も気になったのでした。 また、新宿駅に到着する前の車内放送からCab ride撮影が出来た理由が判明しました。（笑） （グーグル翻訳を利用しました）
