Japan’s Mega-Rail Project: The Impossible Transformation of Kasukabe Station

Описание: ABOUT THIS VIDEO
Kasukabe Station in Saitama is currently undergoing one of the most complex railway transformations in Japan. This "Mega-Rail Project" aims to elevate 2.9 km of tracks to eliminate 10 dangerous level crossings that paralyze local traffic. However, building a massive viaduct in the middle of a busy station is an engineering puzzle.
In this video, we analyze the "Impossible Transformation" of Kasukabe Station, where the Tobu Skytree Line and Urban Park Line are being shifted to temporary tracks and platforms in a meticulously timed sequence. We’ll explore the reused wooden structures of temporary platforms, the unique 340-meter-long express platforms, and the mystery of the "never-opening" level crossings. Discover the incredible precision of Japanese railway engineering as we document this massive urban Park Line and Skytree Line renovation.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN
The step-by-step process of shifting active tracks to temporary locations
Why the new elevated platforms are 340 meters long (enough for 17 cars)
The secret behind the reuse of old wooden station structures in new platforms
How JR and Tobu manage "Limited Express" ticket checks on temporary platforms
The technical reason why the Urban Park Line needs a connecting track to the Skytree Line
Reality of "Isesaki No. 124," the level crossing that almost never opens
Why some overpasses are remaining at ground level while others are being elevated
The impact of the elevated project on local icons like the "Tobu Ramen" shop
