Here we are in the middle of the gloomy rainy season. We have been having hot and humid days, but, once the sun's rays peep through the clouds, I never fail to go out to enjoy a stroll. Following Noborito on the Odakyu line, my next destination was Futako-shinchi on the Tokyu-Denentoshi line in Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture.
After getting off the train at Futako-shinchi station, I headed to Tama River. I could see a railway bridge of a double-double track spanning between Futako-shinchi and Futako-tamagawa. There are baseball grounds, jogging paths and cycling roads on the riverbank of Futako-shinchi side. I saw many athletes there. On the other hand, I could see office buildings, shopping malls and high-rise apartments of the Futako-tamagawa area on the other side of the river. Futako-shinchi and Futako-tamagawa are in contrast to each other.
As soon as I started walking on the embankment, a 10-car train crossed the railway bridge. It was a westbound train, set number 2131 of the EMU Tokyu 2020 series. The 2020 series is composed of five motorcars and five trailers. Each motorcar has its own electric control unit. A total of 30 sets, 300 units, were built by J-TREC Yokohama factory from 2018 to 2022. The 2020 series is characterized by its unique "face". It's white and round. The crescent-shaped accent strikes my eyes. The large cowcatcher integrated with the face also stands out conspicuously.
While observing trains, I enjoyed Tama riverside walking as usual.
