      Keikyu trains are standard gauge--would work on American tracks! And they're not the only company for which this is true... #TrainTwitterhttps://twitter.com/WashletJP/status/963264525985202181 …

      Other standard-gauge Japanese suburban railways include: Keisei, which runs the famous "Skyliner" service to Narita Airportpic.twitter.com/PZgwmzr6ta

      Hankyu, Hanshin, and Sanyo railways (all in the Greater Osaka area) interoperate via the Kobe Rapid Railway--all of them use standard gaugepic.twitter.com/fxn40W4b4O

      Kintetsu--which, iirc, is the most extensive private railway company in Japan (excluding the JR group)--also operates standard gauge on most of its lines. Wouldn't it be nice to see them on American tracks?pic.twitter.com/5bHuMYfdXn

      The first looks like a mecha thing. Gorgeous. Would love this on french tracks too. Standard gauge okay, but is this 60Hz ? 50Hz ? 16,67Hz (fuck Belgium) ?

      No idea; most US suburban railways are not electrified so you could build whatever catenary the trains required--might be more complicated where electrification is already common

          Ya it looks like most of these railways use 1500V DC

          I wonder how hard it would be to mod them for dual power sources--I know the Joban Line uses 1500V DC *and* 20kV AC 50Hz on different parts of the line, so the trains that run on it use both, despite only minor visual differences with other JR stock in the area

          In France we have 25kV AC on major lines and 1.5kV CC on local lines, so a lot of trains are dual current, and even sometimes dual current + gas powered, for the few lines still not electrified.

          Usually the frequency of the electrical infrastructure is just the same as the national one (50Hz in Europe)
