The consecutive departures of the Nagoya-Osaka limited express trains at one minute intervals can only be seen during the F1 Japanese Grand Prix, the 6:00am A limited express and the 6:01am B limited express. The consecutive departures of the regular trains at 18:00 and 21:00 are "Danube River Ripples" and "Call Me Up", so the consecutive "Danube River Ripples" have become rare. I took photos from a different perspective, focusing on scenes that I was unable to photograph last year. Here are the photos from 2014: • [Kintetsu Nagoya Station] Consecutive departures of the Nagoya-Osaka limited express trains with one minute difference (F1 special train) 0:00: The passageway to the lottery ticket booth and taxi stand north of Meitetsu Nagoya Station is also closed at midnight. The shutters open with a strange sound. 0:36: Many of the lights in the new Dai Nagoya Building are on. It is still before occupancy, but if so many lights are on at 4am after the opening, it would be creepy. 1:06: A security guard brings a ladder to open the door at Kintetsu Nagoya Station. At that time, the departure board shows "Windows XP" (support has ended!). (Reference) Departure board: • [Kintetsu Nagoya Station] Early morning departure information display set up 1:32: Around 5:13, the first local train bound for Ise-Nakagawa (1810 series, two-car train) leaves Yoneno at 5:16 and arrives at platform 1. No cuts until the train departs. 2:27: The station name sign has been changed to a new type with the station number written in large letters. There are several stations, including Kintetsu Nagoya Station, that have been replaced in recent years from the two-generation old type (brown background) to the more recent type (white background), but they have changed again. 2:35: This is the trace of the connecting line to Meitetsu Nagoya Station. 4:46: The first local train bound for Ise-Nakagawa departs. 5:46: At around 5:25, the first express train bound for Toba (2800 series, 4-car train) arrives at platform 3, departing from Yoneno at 5:30. 7:20: At 5:29, the first local train bound for Nagoya (2000 series, 3-car train, returning local train bound for Ise-Nakagawa) from Tomiyoshi Station arrives at platform 1, and the express train departs from platform 3. It overtakes the first local train at Masuho Station. 9:09: The departure board shows two trains departing at 6:01. Of course, the express train leaves first. 9:50: The 6:00 express train bound for Osaka-Namba (21000 series, 6-car train) departs from platform 5. 10:51: Before the doors even close, the 6:01 express train bound for Osaka-Uehonmachi (22000 series, 4-car train) "Danube no Sazanami" starts. 12:13: Just like last year, there is a long delay between the "Danube River Ripples" and the departure. 13:51: The original regular 6:01am local Ise-Nakagawa bound train (1000 series 3-car train) departs from platform 1. 14:40: At 6:03am, a semi-express Nagoya bound train (1400 series 4-car train) arrives from Tomiyoshi station at platform 3, and becomes the 6:10am express Toba bound train. This express train stops at Miyamachi station. (Disclaimer) Some parts have been blurred. September 27, 2015
