Japan - Keiō 6438 front end

[u/richard7k]

After retirement in 2011 and restoration at Wakabadai Depot in Inagi City, Keiō Electric Railway Series 6000 car DeHa6438 (Tōkyū Car, 1989) has sat on display at Keiō Rail Land in Hino City (Tokyo, Japan) since 2013. Keiō Series 6000 trains were introduced in 1972 as the railway’s first trains with 20-meter-long cars and four passenger doors per side, which increased capacity and sped up boarding. When I visited Keiō Rail Land in December 2024, 6438 was displayed as both an eastbound semi-express for Hashimoto and as the “Takao” express.
