The TV program 'Tomochika & Reiji's Fantasy Train' features celebrities who love railways and travel enjoying various trips.
Starting Tuesday, April 7th, there will be a Keio Line special for two consecutive weeks! Actor Kazuhiko Nishimura, a huge railway fan, gets the media's first test ride on a new Keio Line train... but before that, in the first part, he experiences the Keio Training Center, a place the general public cannot enter! He visits the facility that trains drivers and conductors. The facility, which is making almost its first TV appearance, houses numerous simulators for acquiring the skills necessary for safe operation. In contrast to Nishimura, who is constantly excited, Reiji of Nakagawake in the studio grinds his teeth in envy...
## 'Isn't this a dream place?'
As it is a facility inaccessible to the general public, Nishimura is highly energetic from early morning. He infiltrated the 'Keio Training Center,' which nurtures tomorrow's drivers and conductors. 'Isn't this a dream place?' In contrast, while Reiji appreciates Keio Electric Railway's cooperative attitude, he grumbles, 'I always wonder why it isn't me. I want to go.'
The display boards at each facility show the detailed lecture content for the day. Nishimura immediately bites at this. Upon learning that there is no age limit for acquiring qualifications, he locks onto his 're-employment' destination, saying, 'My workplace is decided! Shall I do my best?' The first place he visits is the railway teaching materials room. From models showing the mechanism of train operation to training simulators, it's a dream space for railway fans. Nishimura refuses to step away from the indoor coupler. 'I don't know... because it's through a screen.' What is that surprisingly unexpected reason?
He also experiences a simulator where he can experience some of the duties of drivers and conductors. He operates the destination rollsign that displays the train type and destination. Nishimura sets it to 'Limited Express for Tobitakyu,' a display impossible in normal operation. Actually, Tobitakyu Station has a deep connection with a popular drama he once appeared in, and he reveals the deep(?) reason for choosing this display.
## The Secret Hidden in the Crossing Gate
The facility also had a platform training room modeled after an actual train station platform. Nishimura also experienced picking up lost items on the tracks using a magic hand. Furthermore, at the outdoor training facility where tracks and railroad crossings are reproduced, he learns a surprisingly unexpected fact about crossing gates...
Nishimura then heads to a museum where you can feel the 116-year history of Keio Electric Railway. Nishimura is amazed at the large-scale equipment sitting there. It is an operation monitoring panel that monitors and manages the operation status in real time. Facing a large-scale system that seems to have many check items, he mutters, 'It must be hard to grasp...'
Keio Electric Railway is known for its highly cooperative attitude towards filming and coverage. Nishimura also says, 'They are familiar in the acting world.' Reiji also closely checks Keio's official YouTube, which is frequently updated, and introduces recommended videos.
