Freight from the platform at Omiya

A few from the Omiya, Japan platform waiting for our train on the Tochigi line.

1. EF64-1021 with sing level containerized freight
2. EF210-2 pulling a solid consist of Eneos tankers

Nice catch of the unit tank train, which usually carries crude oil loads towards inland from Port of Kawasaki.

The Japanese freight foamers that frequent Omiya know the schedules of the freight trains, so they often show up about 5-10 minutes ahead of the train, and once they get their shots, they disappear. See any expensive camera bodies and/or lenses while you were there?

We passed the unit train on the way up to Omiya and then it passed us while on the platform waiting. This shot is from the window as we were passing first time. I did notice a lot more people with cameras than usual now that you mention it.
