I went to Carrot Tower for the first time in eight years. Carrot Tower is a high-rise building located in Sangenjaya, Setagaya-Ward of Tokyo Metropolis. There's a branch office of Setagaya Ward over there. After finishing my paperwork, I visited an observation deck of Carrot Tower.
What jumped into my eyes was the Tokyu-Setagaya line tracks. Along with the Toei-Arakawa line, Tokyu-Setagaya line is the traditional tram route in Tokyo Metropolis. Connecting Sangenjaya and Shimo-Takaido (5.0 kilometetrs), the whole route is an exclusive double track. The electric system is 600 V DC overhead. The gauge size is 1,372 millimeters. Sangenjaya station on the Tokyu-Setagaya line is integrated into the ground floor of Carrot Tower.
On the way back home, I walked along the Setagaya line. I came across many tramcars. They were the electric car 300 series, which is the only model operated on the line. The 300 series was commissioned in 1999 to replace old models such as the 150 series. The train is articulated and composed of two cars. A total of 10 sets are operated on the line. Each set has different colored or different designed-bodies. They are classic-blue, apple-green, morning-blue, cherry-red, relief-yellow, burnt-orange, turquoise-green, ex-Tamaden color, SDGs and happy-maneki-neko. The tram runs leisurely through residential areas in Setagaya Ward. This time, I'm going to show you the turquoise-green-colored tram, which is set number 310, as the top photo.
I enjoyed Carrot Tower and the Tokyu-Setagaya line all day that day.
