    Train surfing Indonesia style

    The ones at grade, perhaps, but the elevated portions on the KRL Jabodetabek are pretty well maintained and are built to Japanese standards. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Jakarta_Ekspress.JPG

    Kintetsu Safety Barrier

    Another reason for these barriers- for the partially blind, who can still sense light and darkness, may mistake these gaps as a door opening. Recently a disabled woman fell between two cab cars coupled face to face on the JR Kobe Line, and died.

    27 subways in the Tokyo megalopolis

    More of a Hikifune guy (I'm a big Tokyu 8500 series fan, lost interest in the Toyoko Line after the 8000 series were retired), but I see your point.:)

    27 subways in the Tokyo megalopolis

    Looking towards Den'en Chofu, perhaps taken from the platform end at Tamagawa Station?

    Kintetsu Safety Barrier

    The miscreant may actually have a valid ticket to ride, but in an alcoholic haze, or a sudden loss of rational thought (for example, after just missing the train) he may be tempted to wedge himself in that space.

    Nice picture, thought it was a European location at first glance. The angled building adds some balance and character to the shot, IMO. BTW-kudos to Seattle for choosing that distinctive orange paint scheme!

    Lucky kid. One of the great places to watch trains in SoCal. Spent quite a few Saturdays there back when I was in college(before the place was renovated and when "proper" AT&SF warbonnets were the norm). One of the few places in the Southland where you can ride a train in, see a...

    Love those position light signals. Glad to see some are still soldiering on in old PRR territory. Got them here in Japan too- but much, much more numerous.
