I'm not a native English speaker, so I often come across unknown English words. The latest example was "quintuplets". It's not a common word, but I would like to remember it using a real example. On New Year's Day, 2024, a green-colored monorail train debuted on the Disney Resort line in Chiba Prefecture. That's the 5th set of Type-C train. As a result, a total of five-colored Type-C trains were eventually commissioned onto the line. They are "quintuplets" in different colors.
The Disney Resort line is a straddle type monorail line. It's a public transport under the Railway Business Act, not an attraction inside the resort. The route is a looped single track running through amusement facilities, official hotels and JR East Maihama station. There are four stations over the total operating length of 5.0 kilometers. The trains run counterclockwise throughout the day. The Type-C train is the latest model, and has been increasing its number. Set 101 has yellow-colored bodies. Set 102 has pink, Set 103 has blue, Set 104 has purple and Set 105 has green-colored bodies. The Disney Resort line is filled with a profusion of colors!
What happens next on the Disney Resort line? It's a pity, but the last survivor of the old model, namely Set 4 of Type-X train, will be retired from the track soon. According to a station attendant on the Disney Resort line, it will be around September this year. The monorail operator will announce it once it's been decided.
