Oops! The Keihin Tohoku has an ouchy.

The Keihin Tohoku Line (which is infamous for being a rather 'rough' ride here in Kanto/Greater Tokyo) derailed today...

ANd so, trains are back to their murderous behaviour toward mankind...

It's called Resistentialism. The tendency of inanimate objects to thwart the best laid plans of mice and men.

I think it was originally written about by a guy named Jennings.

Anywas, you kids be careful out there. Things are out to get you.

The Keihin Tohoku Line has where the speeds go well over 120 km/h on regular tracks without using stabilized cars. Normally, trains in Japan use active, computer-aided suspension dampening at speeds over 110 km/hr as well as special high-speed, continuous tracks with special rubber bed bushings.
On crutches, it is nearly impossible for me to stand on the high-speed sections of the Keihin Tohoku Line (I used to commute on the Keihin Tohoku for 15+years).

BTW I added the missing 'i' to your post

What missing 'i'?

At least it was an out-of-service train.

Only in Japan... Normal rail lines in western Yurop' are 160 to 200 kph, without bondooglelry...
(certainly not in Italy though... and don't get me started on Tatcher's discount rail network...)

You had "Kehin" twice (or was it a semi-Freudian slip towards gehin? )
