200403南新宿
aken near a railroad crossing by Minami-Shinjuku Station in 2004.
These two trains may look identical at first glance, but they are actually different models.
If you look closely, you’ll notice subtle differences in the position of the windshield wipers, the location of the footrests below the driver's window, and the shape of the front skirt.
They were built in different eras for different purposes.
Although both have long since retired, to someone born in the Showa era like me, this is what Odakyu trains are supposed to look like—it brings back a real sense of nostalgia.
