Keihan Railway Between Chushojima And Yodo
About the Keihan Railway Camera
This camera watches the Keihan main line on the stretch between Chushojima and Yodo, in the south of Kyoto. The Keihan runs between Sanjo in central Kyoto and Yodoyabashi in Osaka, roughly following the Yodo river, and it has carried traffic between the two cities since 1910.
The section in view is good for watching trains because the service mixes so many types. Local stoppers, semi-expresses, limited expresses and the double-decker cars run through in quick succession, and at peak times the gaps between them are short.
The area has its own history. Chushojima sits in Fushimi's sake district, where the brewing houses draw on the local groundwater, and Yodo is the site of Yodo Castle and the Kyoto Racecourse. The stream is also a solar-generation monitor, so the operator keeps it running continuously.
