東急電鉄

東京電鉄は、東横線と田園都市線を主軸に、大井町線、目黒線、池上線、多摩川線などの路線を持ちます。かつては東急車輛製のステンレス車が特徴でした。現在では日本の鉄道車両の大半がステンレス・アルミ車体になり、特徴とは呼べなくなってしまいました。

Tokyu (Tokyo Kyuko, 'kyuko' means 'express') is not the longest private railway, but financially it is one of the most important compamny in Japan. It has two main lines (Toyoko line and Dennentoshi Line) and some branches. Although silver stainless cars were its tradition for 40 years, nowadays it is no longer special in Japan. Interestingly, Keikyu, Hankyu and Keihan (train companies) are getting unique since they have not introuced stainless cars.
