The first train run on the Subway line after the track was wired to block feeders (still on DC, not yet wired with DCC block detectors or circuit breakers). This video shows my JR East E491 “East-i E” track inspection train inspecting the line, followed by my Tōkyō Metro 10000 series subway train doing its first run.
This video contrasts the appearance of an unlit commuter train with one that has had the Kato lighting kits installed, and further with the same train after the interior was lightly painted and had figured installed. See the Detailing an EMU page for more information.
