The magnification is 38 times higher than the previous one! I went to the “2023 Tram Day” commemorative event, where car No. 7001 makes its first appearance in six years at the Arakawa Tramway Office, which looks like a warehouseman.

Car 7001 to be unveiled for the first time in six years The highlight of the event will be a photo session with Car 7001, which will be unveiled for the first time in six years, and three other cars in service. Car 7001 was in service for 64 years, from 1953 to 2017. However, since it was replaced by a new car body in 1978, it is not a “64-year car” in its entirety. Although the car is still maintained in working condition, it is not registered and cannot be used on the main line. There are three cars in service: car 8501, car 9001, and car 8901. All were matched with the top numbers of their respective trains. Fortunately, the weather was fine, but the backlighting was unavoidable due to the site. The participants seemed to enjoy taking pictures.

The Arakawa Train Depot has an interesting structure. Usually, a rail yard has a number of tracks where cars are stored, and they spread out in a fan shape from the entrance to the rear. At the Arakawa Station, however, although the tracks are lined up horizontally, they are all interrupted at the north and south ends, except for the four tracks that are connected to the main line. So how do the trains get in and out of the interrupted tracks? Actually, a traverser is installed at the northern end of the site. This is a piece of equipment that carries the cars and moves them sideways. Trains that exit the north side of the building via the four tracks connected to the main line are loaded onto the traverser there. The traverser then moves the train horizontally to the line where it enters the depot, and from there the train is moved to the detention line. At the location where the photo session was held, three trains can be placed in one detention line. There are six such lines, for a total of 18 cars. There is a wash line adjacent to it, as well as four other lines connected to the main line that can also be used. Even so, the station would be full if all 33 cars were to be detained. Because multiple trains are stored on a single track, the order of loading and unloading becomes a problem. If a train that is supposed to leave first is in the back, the train in the front must first be moved to make way for it to leave. To avoid such a situation, the order and position of the trains entering the depot must be determined while taking into consideration the train operations. It is like being a “warehouse keeper.
