Here are some photos from JR Ohimachi Open House taken place on Aug 23. The facility is located near JR Ohimachi Station where major maintenance works performing on commuter trains including class 201s, class 205s, class 209s. Clear up and sunshine, very nice weather to look around and take photos of JR trains. Every year JR tries to bring in new faces for us to see.

This year, Class 209 Keihin Tohoku (1st Photo) was used as a rest area, very nice and cool place to be in! At the end of the inspection area, You will see some veterans from JNR era welcomes as usual(2nd photo).

Cars went to Indonesia were from Tokyo Metro Government's Mita Line. Actually these 72 exported cars have very similar appearance except they are stainless steel body cars.

Hope this helps.
