Repetitive, yet steadily *consistent* with a good camera angle and positioning, clear view with bright blue sky in background, (features not seen in many other Japan commuter train videos) and a variety of trains. Would have been helpful to include some camera-pan-followings as trains passed, but can't ask for everything all the time, I guess.
By the way, precisely where was this recorded....in or near Tokyo? With the variety of trains shown, is this some sort of combined or consolidated main line? (Only two tracks for commuter-type rail, however, I notice.)

35.5862449 139.6875065 is the exact location, located in Ota City, Tokyo. This is a diversion line (used to be a freight line) leading to areas to the south of central Tokyo to alleviate the congested (and full of level crossings) 4 track Tōkaidō Main line. It is now part of the Yokosuka Line. Other commuter lines also share this line to extend service to/from the city centre and Sōtetsu has through train service so the variety of trains comes from the other lines using this line to get to central Tokyo. Plus, some services and lines have more than one type of rolling stock, and some services and lines, such as the Narita Express and the Shōnan-Shinjuku Line have their own rolling stock.

Well, quite a comprehensive explanation, there, thank you. So, these tracks in essence channel multiple lines, in varying degrees, through this segment of rail line. Interesting... I wish I could visit to see for myself, but that likely will unfortunately not happen. By the way, what station(s) on the Tokyo rail transit map is/are nearest to where this was recorded, and how far away, I wonder??

@@HRHolm-bi6zu On the JR East network, the closest is Musashi-Kosugi Station , as this spot is between Musashi-Kousugi and Nishi-Oi station. About 45-55 minutes walk from either station. However, the closest public transit station is Ontakesan Station, on the Tokyu Ikegami line, about 5 minutes away on foot.
