Ginza Line Plans Return Trip To 1927 For 90th Anniversary

To celebrate the 90th birthday of the Ginza Line, Tokyo Metro Co. plans to run a special train that recreates the vibe of the 1000 series that ran the rails when the subway opened in 1927. The six-car train, which was unveiled Jan. 11, boasts the old-fashioned interior, featuring wood-grain walls, a chestnut-colored floor and window frames, and green seats. With brass-colored handrails and hanging straps from back in the day, the special train oozes nostalgia.
