This time, a collaboration between Tobu Railway and JR Takasaki Branch has been realized! Part 1!

Tobu and JR railway enthusiasts (operation managers) talk about the charm of the 8000 series!

The 8000 series, a famous train that appeared in 1963 and has long supported Tobu Railway's commuter transport.
