Keihan electric railway

There is the railroad called ''Keihan electric railway'' in Kansai. The Keihan train links Osaka to Kyoto.
A characteristic of Keihan electric train is that television sticks to the limited express train. This is called ''TV car''. In addition, it is a characteristic to connect the train of 2 stories.

However, TV car will disappear by 2012. Because, television comes to be seen a mobile phone, and the times changed.

A new route was inaugurated in the Keihan electric railway in October of the year before last. It is ''Nakanoshima line''. Nakanoshima line links Nakanoshima in the center of osaka to Temmabashi.

It is a train called ''type 3000'' to have made its debut with the opening to traffic of Nakanoshima line. There is not the double decker, but there is various characteristic in this train.

The seat of the inside of car uses a brand called ''the Ecsaine'' which Toray developed. By the way, ''the Ecsaine'' presents it with a brand called ''Alcantara'' by Europe and the car interior decoration. In addition, it unfolds as ''ultra suede cloth'' in the United States.
The color fo the body is two colors of the blue and white. In addition, there is a silver line midmost. This lets feel the sparkle of the city and streamflow in the rock garden; is done. The design concept of this train let a modern sense fuse in a fragrance of culture and the taste.

These characteristics were estimated and won Laurel Prize from Tetsudou-tomonokai and won good design Prize from Japan industrial design promotion organization. In addition, the good design prize wins four new stations of Keihan Nakanoshima Line.

I think the Keihan electric railway to be the one of the railroads with the charm.
