207 series


photo taken with a cellular phone

On the platform of Kanamachi station I saw the train of 207 series of Joban local line (常磐緩行線207系電車).
And there were some mens with cameras there.
Its rollsign said "Not in Service (回送)".
This train has been in service since 1986 and is so old that it jolts along and rides a little bad.

After that as my train for Karakida stopped at Kita-senju station, I saw the train of E233 series of that line on the opposite rail track of the platform.
E233 is the newest series train of Joban line and the old 207 is planned to be replaced with E233.

I have taken 207 series since I began to live in Tokyo 7 years ago.
I might be going to say farewell to it in the near future.
