I took the picture of JR west 225series train.

↑On my way to Osaka Prefecture University.


I went to Tennoji and took the picture of 225series train.It was operated as Rapid service train bound for Otori.I had already known it with the help of Mr.nanahocya, who made the timetable of 225series.

225series train


Then, I rode the local train to go to Tsurugaoka and got off at Tsurugaoka.
I was waiting for the 225series train expected to return from Otori and to pass through Tsurugaoka at approx.8:03.


Trains on Hanwa Line were delayed by 10mins due to heavy rain. It annoyed me little.

But,something was wrong with trains for Tennoji.
Despite the Local train was on the track which is supposed to be used for waiting faster trains passes, Airport express train "Haruka" which had seemed to overtake the Local train stopped about 200m away from Tsurugaoka station.


After a while, announcement said "Annoyance among passengers happened in the train stops at Tennoji. So, trains are waiting until the problem solves.We apologize for annoying you.".


Trains began to move at 8:30 and 225series train was following 103series train following Airport express train"Haruka".

After taking the picture of it, I went to the university. But, I was behind 10mins for the class.


After school, I intended to take the picture of another 225series train. When I reached Mikunigaoka station, I heard the announcement "Trains on Hanwa Line is delayed due to strong wind.In addition to it, gate of the railroad crossing near Izumi-Fuchu station was broken to collide with overhead wire. Therefore, Trains stops running between otori and Hineno. The Local train which is behind 27mins will arrive at Tennoji faster than any other train. You may well use this train because no train seems to follow it."


Then I saw the white light shining from the direction of Tennoji.
Because the light was specific to 225series train, I picked out my camera.
