Yamanote Line

Yamanote Line train, empty.

Tokyo's Yamanote Line is notorious for its chronic overcrowding - and it's rare to see a completely empty carriage. (Actually, I cheated: this was in the mid-afternoon at Ôsaki Station on a train which had just been brought into service).

The photo dates from 2002, and the train interior depicted is of a sort no longer running on that line.
