International Railroad Discussion > JR East Ohi Maintenance Facility Open HouseDate: 08/26/16 21:51 JR East Ohi Maintenance Facility Open House Author: Hiroshi Just got back from The open House at JR Tokyo maintenance Facility near JR Ohi station.
A long line of people were waiting for the opening of the facility at ten o'clock in the morning. Took me a while to come to the main entrance.    Date: 08/26/16 21:55 Re: JR East Ohi Maintenance Facility Open House Author: Hiroshi Saw this EMU was setting alone in the shop. Soon ope raters showed up to show us a demonstration of "heavy lifting."
   Date: 08/27/16 02:36 Re: JR East Ohi Maintenance Facility Open House Author: Hiroshi Here are some interesting equipment:
A yellow tractor is to pull and push a EUM car inside the shop; A pair of the shop goat.   Date: 08/27/16 02:40 Re: JR East Ohi Maintenance Facility Open House Author: Hiroshi Some shots from the body-shop area.
Class E233 (orange and green strip) and Class E231 EMUs (lite green strip).    Date: 08/27/16 09:17 Re: JR East Ohi Maintenance Facility Open House Author: icancmp193 Everything is always so spotlessly clean in those JR shops!
Tom Y Date: 08/27/16 12:26 Re: JR East Ohi Maintenance Facility Open House Author: lynnpowell I was wondering about the cleanliness and uncluttered look of the shop, too. Is it always like this, or just of the open house. I know of a trucking company that holds a charity event in their truck maintenance shop each October. It gives them an excuse to unclutter the place and perform a "class one" cleaning job. They also invite their insurance carrier to send out their inspector to check things out!

Date: 08/28/16 03:23 Re: JR East Ohi Maintenance Facility Open House Author: Hiroshi Back of the shop, there was a line of new class 233s
Also there was a special run inside the shop.; today you have a chance to ride class 233 spical.   Date: 08/28/16 18:05 Re: JR East Ohi Maintenance Facility Open House Author: cchan006 JR East's Ohi Open House has become a great summer tradition.
I usually avoid visiting Japan in August due to the high humidity and temperature, but some day, I'll have to brave that and attend the open house. Thank you Hiroshi-san, for the annual report!
