2014年2月8日、首都圏は45年ぶりの大雪に襲われました。滅多に無い大雪と、地上区間外では雪知らずの地下鉄、その2つの珍しい出会いのシーンを横浜市営地下鉄各駅で撮影しました。

The Greater Tokyo Area had the heaviest snowfall in 45 years on 8th February, 2014. I took unique encounter scenes of infrequent heavy snow and subway independent from snow on some stations on the Yokohama Municipal Subway/

  1. Wow–I didn't think the snowstorm would be this intense. It looks more like something you'd see at Sendai or Morioka in the middle of winter….

  2. How come i haven't made a comment…the video is fantastic, the silver bodied trains are hard to see in the snow but your shots are excellent! I see that Yokohama Municipal Subway use third rail power supply, just as Athens Metropolitan Railway do. This system tends to easily accumulate ice and the pads produce lots of sparks, as i remember from your other video showing that. Snow is a train driver's nightmare but a trainspotter's heaven!

  3. Interesting that the subway lines with 3rd rail power supply uses rolling stock with conventional rotary motors whereas the lines with overhead wires uses rolling stock with linear motors. In Vancouver, all SkyTrain lines are fully automated and driverless and uses 3rd rail power supply. Yet one line uses rolling stock with conventional rotary motors while all other lines uses rolling stock with linear motors.

  4. stationed near Yokohama in 1962-1964, used buses, taxi and trains from Yokohama Central but knew of no subways then…..

  5. これだけ見ると雪国w
    この年の雪はやばかったからなぁ
