[Tōkyū] Trains at Motosumiyoshi, Tamagawa, and along the Den-en-Toshi Line (March-April 2024) [4k]

The Tōkyū Railway network comprises seven railway lines and a light rail line, originating from multiple historical companies that have now been integrated into a single rapid-transit style network across southwestern Tokyo and northern Kanagawa Prefectures.

The core line is the Tōyoko Line, which connects Shibuya to Yokohama, with through service to the north to the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line (formerly via the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line) and to the south to the Minatomirai Line. Much of its corridor was duplicated after the split of the Mekama Line into the Meguro and Tamagawa Lines, allowing the Meguro Line to parallel it for much of its route. The Meguro Line through operates to the north onto the Toei Mita and Tokyo Metro Namboku Lines, and south along the new Shin-Yokohama Line to the Sōtetsu network, with select Tōyoko Line trains also traveling along this segment.

The other core route is Den-en-toshi Line, comprised of the underground Shin-Tamagawa Line (built as a replacement for the surface Tamagawa tram line) and a suburban rapid transit extension. This rapid transit line has additional reverse branch service onto the Ōimachi Line. The Den-en-toshi Line through operates onto the Tokyo Metro Hanzōmon Line.

In addition to the above, the Tamagawa Line, a radial remnant left over after the Mekama Line was split, runs roughly parallel to the Ikegami Line, one of its original competitor lines before it was absorbed into what is now Tōkyū. These lines run independent of the other lines.

Finally, there is the Setagaya Line, a light rail line that comprises the remains of the former Tamagawa tram line. It is not featured in this video.

This video primarily comprises footage from Motosumiyoshi on the shared Tōyoko/Meguro trunk line, scenes from at and around Tamagawa station, and at Futako-shinchi station on the Den-en-toshi Line. Unfortunately we have no video footage of the Ikegami, Shin-Yokohama, and Setagaya Lines.
