京浜急行前面展望 三崎口→品川（Part2） ＜Cabview Japan railways：Keihin Kyuko Line Misakiguchi→Shinagawa (Part2)＞

This video includes a cab view of Keihin Kyuko from Yokosuka Chuo Station to Yokohama Station.
Trains that stopped at almost every station up to Yokosuka Chuo Station pass through several stations from there. This is where this train shows its true potential.
The driver's voice, ``sinko,'' which can sometimes be heard, means that the ``Go ahead'' signal is green, so the train can accelerate to the full speed limit.

Oh my! Mountain railroading. In one tunnel and out to the next! Through a valley and out into open countryside. A lot of effort went into engineering and building this line to keep it so level and remarkably straight. Congratulations to the guys whose work provided this great ride! Thanks for giving us this great ride! 🎉

Although the Keihin Kyuko line is not a mountain railway, it passes through many tunnels, especially in its southern section. Yokosuka, where the port is located, has a rugged terrain, which is why many tunnels were dug. As a result, the train is a little noisy, but that's another characteristic of this line. And it's attractive.

Whoever laid out,surveyed and constructed those lines,were of genius level! Going through mountains,and making like a roller coaster,is really a taking a Swiss train,as you'll go from tunnel to bridge,to tunnel,and in that,just how did they manage to build those tunnels,and maintain the curvature?? And the bulk of those tunnels are lined,and there is much avalanche,and riprap,for slide,and rock protection! All this from a front of train view! Worse,its taken for granted! Anyway,thank you for your labors,and editing,its not an easy task,and I did my share,so can appreciate the work involved! Thank you 😇 😊!

Not only this route, but many Japanese railways have many curves, slopes, tunnels, and bridges. This is because there are few plains in Japan, and the rivers flow rapidly and meander in many places. When Japan was actively constructing railroads from the late 1800s to the early 1900s, Japan still had immature civil engineering technology and did not have construction machinery, so there were long tunnels and long railways. They couldn't build a bridge. Therefore, the track meandered. Although the Keikyu Railway shown in this video is a private railway, many of the lines that run through Japan's mountainous regions were built by government order. Construction work everywhere suffered. However, the construction work was not abandoned and the railroad opened. I believe that this is not based on the government's orders, but rather on the passion of the engineers involved in the construction. I think it's probably the same in every country in the world.

@@14ikesan12 Sir,thank you for your time,and the explanation! You are appreciated from some in the US,and Japanese railways,are fascinating,as there is American,British and German,and native ingenuity all combined! The fun part,is knowing the inner workings,and seeing the operations! Those split heads,interlocking signals are interesting,once you how to read them! Thank you,again for your efforts 👌!! Thank you 😇 😊!!

What a "wild ride" through the Japanese railway landscape... Your previous videos showed rather slow-moving trains, but here express trains to get from "A" to "B" quickly - that was very interesting to watch!!! As a train fan, until recently I only knew the famous "Shinkansen" trains... But Japan has so much more to offer, and not just when it comes to trains! The three-rail track that one of your commentators noticed appears to exist worldwide: it has become rather rare in Germany since the narrow-gauge railways no longer run regularly here but are mostly only used as museum trains - recently discovered in a KZbin video on a trip to Switzerland: the Rhaetian train runs on narrow gauge, the Swiss SBB on standard gauge (1435 mm). The world of railways is fascinating, thank you for showing us the diversity of Japanese railways 👍

RhB was 1m gauge. But while riding it, I don't feel like it's poor. It's luxurious. And the world's slowest express has better not reach its destination early. Keihin Kyuko has traditionally been oriented towards high-speed operation in order to win competition with the parallel Japanese National Railways. It takes a long time for the train to accelerate, and it takes a long time to start decelerating. Even if the timetable is disrupted, trains will run as far as possible without having to wait at stations along the way. The staff at this company say, "Because this is Keihin Kyuko."

@@14ikesan12 Yes, you‘re right: this railway on narrow gauge isn‘t poor at all - it‘s brilliant -> kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y2PRgnSZmtN-qbssi=mVsLXFbk0fEeEzBj

Thank you for these two videos, part one and part two. It was a nice and interesting cab rides. In part two at 09.50 / 10.10 at plattform at left with automatic doors, but at plattform right not, why ?

[@14ikesan12]

I don't know the real reason. All I can imagine is the order of construction. The platform on the right may be undergoing construction in the future. Another possibility is that the vehicles arriving at the platform on the right are both 2-door and 3-door vehicles, and the doors cannot be attached. Either way, the door will be built in time. Building doors on platforms has a great effect on passenger safety.

So many tunnels! And the houses are very close to the tracks. Not like Australia :)

[@14ikesan12]

In Japan, houses are too crowded. ┐(´〜`；)┌ Yokosuka, which the train passes through on its way, is famous for its many tunnels, and there are over 150 tunnels in total, both road and railway tunnels. And it seems to be common throughout the world that terrain with many slopes is suitable for building ports.

[@chriswood5205]

Thank you for this fantastic video. It looks to me like the leftmost track at ~07:40 is mixed gauge (presumably 3ft6in/standard). My understanding is that the Keikyu is standard gauge throughout, so why this mixed gauge, assuming that is what it is?.

[@14ikesan12]

You made a very good discovery. There is a manufacturer of rolling stock along this route (on the left side of the screen). Here they make both rolling stock for 1435mm gauge and rolling stock for 1067mm gauge. "Dual gauge" has been adopted so that both rolling stock can run on railway rails when the completed rolling stocks are shipped.
