Tokyo station for Shinkansen is made up of two parts. A part of JR-Central is for Tokaido Shinkansen, another part of JR-East is for Tohoku/Akita/Yamagata Shinkansen and Jyoetsu/Hokuriku Shinkansen.
The admission ticket is valid for both stations, so I go to the part of JR-East, also. The...
I went to the Tokyo station aim at the Shinkansen in snow. There was few Railfan and some tourist who take a photo in commemoration of their travel, because it was very cold.
The color combination of Series 300, 700 and N700 is the blue stripe based on the white body. Therefore they draw the...
I take this shot aim at the contrast with white and black worlds. EH200 (locomotive of JR Freight) leads the freight train and get through under the artificial ground of Omiya station. There is a shopping center, "ecute" and the shopper is passenger of JR.
I went to the Omiya station many times in four seasons. Although, I have no experience it's in snowing. The color scheme of block pattern for series 185 EMU is not popular with Railfan in Japan. But, I think the snow makes a good combination with series 185 EMU.
I shot this scene from the top car of the train (series E231) going to Omiya. It looks not white but little blue. The reason is a window of heat-wave-resistant glass and the snow.
JR-East and JR-Hokkaido operate Limited express HOKUTOSEI from Ueno to Sapporo. (1207.9km, 16hours 28minutes) the train is leaded by EF81 (ED79, DD51) and the passenger car (sleeping car) is series 24. HOKUTOSEI means "Big Dipper" in Japanese. (the constellation)

On Feb. 3rd, 2008, it was snowing in Tokyo metroplitan area. Aim at the blue train in the line of Tokaido, I was waiting for a rapid train of Chuo line in Shinjyuku. Super View ODORIKO (JR Series 251) arrives to Shinjyuku in snowing.
Locomotives formed up at JR Tabata engine house. It's not for the exhibition.
