Choshi Electric Railway 1000 Series
The is an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type formerly operated by the private railway operator Choshi Electric Railway in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, from 1994 until 2016. The type originally consisted of two single cars, DeHa 1001 and DeHa 1002, converted from former TRTA (now Tokyo Metro) subway 2000 series EMU cars, originally built in 1959 and 1960, and introduced from 29 August 1994 to replace the ageing Choshi Electric Railway 100 series, 100 and 500 series EMU cars. Car 1002 was withdrawn in February 2015, and car 1001 was withdrawn in February 2016. Build details DeHa 1001 was built in November 1960 by Teikoku Sharyo as car 2046 for the TRTA Ginza Line subway (present-day Tokyo Metro Ginza Line) in Tokyo. DeHa 1002 was built in November 1959 by Hitachi as car 2040 for the Honancho Branch of the TRTA Marunouchi Line subway (present-day Tokyo Metro Marunouchi Line) in Tokyo. Conversion work for use on the Choshi Electric Railway involved the addition of second driving ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Third-rail
A third rail, also known as a live rail, electric rail or conductor rail, is a method of providing electric power to a railway locomotive or train, through a semi-continuous rigid conductor placed alongside or between the rails of a railway track. It is used typically in a mass transit or rapid transit system, which has alignments in its own corridors, fully or almost fully segregated from the outside environment. Third rail systems are usually supplied from direct current electricity. Modern tram systems, street-running, avoid the risk of electrocution by the exposed electric rail by implementing a segmented ground-level power supply, where each segment is electrified only while covered by a vehicle which is using its power. The third-rail system of electrification is not related to the third rail used in dual gauge railways. Description Third-rail systems are a means of providing electric traction power to trains using an additional rail (called a "conductor rail") ...

Electric Multiple Units Of Japan
Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter that has a property of electric charge. Electricity is related to magnetism, both being part of the phenomenon of electromagnetism, as described by Maxwell's equations. Various common phenomena are related to electricity, including lightning, static electricity, electric heating, electric discharges and many others. The presence of an electric charge, which can be either positive or negative, produces an electric field. The movement of electric charges is an electric current and produces a magnetic field. When a charge is placed in a location with a non-zero electric field, a force will act on it. The magnitude of this force is given by Coulomb's law. If the charge moves, the electric field would be doing work on the electric charge. Thus we can speak of electric potential at a certain point in space, which is equal to the work done by an external agent in carrying a unit of p ...

Kasagami-Kurohae Station
is a railway station on the privately operated Chōshi Electric Railway Line in Chōshi, Chiba, Japan. Lines Kasagami-Kurohae Station is served by the Chōshi Electric Railway Line from to . It is located between and stations, and is a distance of from Chōshi Station. Station layout The station is staffed, and consists of two side platforms serving two tracks. This is the only station on the line where trains can pass in opposite directions. The station is also the location for a power substation with a 300 kW silicon rectifier which supplies 600 V DC to the line's overhead wires. A loop and siding for freight services originally existed behind the Railroad directions, up platform, but the loop was later removed, leaving just the siding. Withdrawn Electric multiple unit, EMU car Choshi Electric Railway 100 series, DeHa 101 was previously dumped in this siding, but was disposed of in September 2009 to make space to store newly delivered Choshi Electric Railway 2000 s ...

Choshi Electric Railway 700 Series
The was an electric multiple unit (EMU) train type operated by the private railway operator Choshi Electric Railway in Chiba Prefecture, Japan, between 1978 and 2010. The two single cars were converted from former Ohmi Railway MoHa 50 EMU cars, which were built in 1942. Build details ''Source:'' Operation The two DeHa 700 cars were not able to operate in multiple with other types on the railway, but were often used running together in multiple on rush-hour services. Interior The trains had longitudinal seating, and were not air-conditioned, using ceiling-mounted fans. DeHa 701 was equipped with fare collection boxes at each end for ''wanman'' driver only operation.

TRTA
The is a major rapid transit system in Tokyo, Japan, operated by the Tokyo Metro Co. With an average daily ridership of 6.84 million passengers, the Tokyo Metro is the larger of the two subway operators in the city; the other being the Toei Subway, with 2.85 million average daily rides. Organization Tokyo Metro is operated by , a joint-stock company jointly owned by the Government of Japan and the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. The company, founded as a part of then-Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's policy of converting statutory corporations into joint-stock companies, replaced the , commonly known as Eidan or TRTA, on April 1, 2004. TRTA was administered by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, and jointly funded by the national and metropolitan governments. It was formed in 1941 as a part-nationalization of the Tokyo Underground Railway and Tokyo Rapid Railway (now both form the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line), although its oldest lines date back to 1927 with t ...

Driver Only Operation
One-person operation (OPO), also known as driver-only operation (DOO), one-man operation (OMO), single person train operation (SPTO), or one-person train operation (OPTO), similarly to Driver Controlled Operation, is operation of a train, bus, or tram by the driver alone, without a conductor. On one-person operated passenger trains, the engineer must be able to see the whole train to make sure that all the doors are safe for departure. On curved platforms a CCTV system, mirror or station dispatch staff are required. Although extra infrastructure such as cameras and mirrors might require additional investment, one-person operation is usually faster and cheaper to implement than automatic train operation, requiring a smaller investment in, for example, platform intruder detection systems and track protection (fencing, bridge-caging, CCTV etc.). In some cases, one-person operation can be seen as an intermediate step towards automatic train operation. While European freight tr ...

Tetsuko No Tabi
is a Japanese nonfiction manga series authored by Hirohiko Yokomi and illustrated by Naoe Kikuchi. The manga was serialized in Shogakukan's ''seinen'' manga magazine ''Monthly Ikki'' between 2001 and 2006. A thirteen-episode anime television series adaptation by Group TAC was broadcast in 2007. Overview ''Tetsuko no Tabi'' is a nonfiction series. It is inspired on the book ''Getting On and Off of JR’s 4600 Stations'' by Hirohiko Yokomi, published in 1998, which chronicles his experience visiting all of Japan rail's train stations. The editor in chief of Shogakukan's ''Monthly Ikki'', Hideki Egami, wanted to recapture Yokomi's experience in manga. Masahiko Ishikawa, Shogakukan's editor and a rail fan, recruited Naoe Kikuchi, a new manga artist who worked with Shogakukan on a number of shorts, and this would be her first serialized work. ''Tetsuko no Tabi'' is about Kikuchi herself, traveling with Yokomi and Ishikawa, illustrating a manga based on their experiences. Charac ...
