Купить JR EAST Train Simulator: Yokohama Line (Ōfuna to Hachiōji）Series E233-6000

■Yokohama Line

The Yokohama Line is a 42.6 km railway connecting Higashi-Kanagawa Station in Yokohama and Hachiōji Station in Tōkyō.It began operation on September 23, 1908, by the Yokohama Railway.Company, originally for transporting raw silk.

In addition to trains between Higashi-Kanagawa and Hachiōji, some services run directly to Sakuragichō and Ōfuna via the Keihin-Tōhoku/Negishi Line. Rapid services operate between Higashi-Kanagawa and Sagamihara from 9:30 AM to 4:00 PM to improve convenience.

All trains use 8-car E233 series 6000-series formations, featuring the line's distinctive yellow-green and green stripes and“YOKOHAMA LINE”logo. They are equipped with ATS-P (Yokohama Line) and digital ATC (Negishi Line), requiring drivers to handle different operating procedures. Frequent gradients and speed changes demand skilled notch control.

Trains from Ōfuna travel via Ishikawachō (near Chinatown) and Yokohama Station (Kanagawa's largest), heading to Higashi-Kanagawa. From there, they pass Kikuna (Tōkyū Tōyoko Line), Shin-Yokohama (Tōkaidō Shinkansen, Tōkyū Shin-yokohama Line, Sotetsu Shin-yokohama Line, Yokohama Municipal Subway BLUE LINE), and residential areas in Midori Ward. After connecting with the Yokohama Municipal Subway GREEN LINE at Nakayama Station and the Tokyu Den-en-toshi Line/Kodomonokuni Line at Nagatsuta Station,  Naruse Station enters Tokyo. It connects with Odakyu Odawara Line at Machida, Keiō Sagamihara Line and Sagami Line at Hashimoto, and Chūō and Hachikō Lines at Hachiōji.
