Yamanote line switching construction "Phantom vehicle" "Railway vehicle" Approximately 90 cars are on the line November 16, 11:51
For this time, there are about 90 special vehicles that can run on both the track and the road, called “Railway Vehicles,” according to JR East. It is unusual for the “railway vehicles” to gather together.
A “railway vehicle” is a special vehicle in which the wheels of a railroad are mounted under a vehicle such as an excavator or a truck so that it can run on the railroad track. It is used for construction of railway facilities. Such construction is usually done in the middle of the night, so the general public has few opportunities to see it, so it is said to be a “phantom vehicle” among railway fans.
Many railway fans gathered at the point where they could overlook the track switching work, and some people tried to shoot "Railway".
Railway fan "I felt the passion of the site"
Many railroad fans gathered on the overpass near Tamachi Station overlooking the track switching work.
As of 9:00 am, more than 10 railroad fans from all over the country gathered, holding cameras and video cameras with telephoto lenses, and enthusiastically shooting how many "railway vehicles" are coming and going. Some people said they continued to shoot without taking a break from 11:00 pm on the 15th.
A second-year junior high school boy in Tokyo said, “Saturday class was closed due to construction suspension and we were able to come to shoot. We could see the construction in front of us and create a new station. I can feel my passionate feeling. ”
A 30-year-old man from Yokohama said, “I am very happy to see a lot of special vehicles on the track. I want to shoot a lot of this valuable opportunity.”
