On this day, due to a level crossing safety check on the Utsunomiya Line, trains running directly to the Utsunomiya Line on both the outbound Shonan-Shinjuku Line and the Ueno-Tokyo Line were suspended at Omiya Station. As a result, platform 8 was the only outbound platform at Omiya Station that could connect directly to the Takasaki Line, so between Akabane and Omiya, the train headed north via the Tohoku Main Line tracks used by the Ueno-Tokyo Line, rather than the freight line used by the Shonan-Shinjuku Line. Just between you and me, I regret not taking a normal train window shot or a front view instead of a straight-on view... Date of shooting: March 31, 2024 Vehicle: E233 series 3000 Yokokotsu E 02 train
