カメラを持ち始めた頃は阪急沿線に撮影によく出かけていましたが対象がJRや飛行機に移り撮影には行かなくなっていました。
それでも幼稚園、小中高、浪人と20年近く利用し続けた時には必ず6300系という「特別な車両」という想いの列車は当たり前のように走っていました。
その6300系がいよいよ嵐山線の運用からも離脱、廃車が進んでいるようです。ホームドア設置もあり一気に8300系への置き換えが進んでいるようでかつて京阪間の女王とも言われていた美しき2連窓のサイドビューとの別れは近いです。
I've been seeing a lot of posts on Instagram lately about the farewell to the 6300 series.
When I first started taking pictures, I often went out to photograph trains along the Hankyu line, but my focus shifted to JR trains and airplanes, and I stopped going out to photograph them.
Even so, during my nearly 20 years of using the line—kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high school, and even during my gap year—the 6300 series, a train I considered a "special vehicle," was always running as a matter of course.
Now, the 6300 series is finally being withdrawn from service on the Arashiyama line, and it seems that the decommissioning is progressing. With the installation of platform doors, the replacement with the 8300 series is accelerating, and the beautiful side view of the double-windowed train, once called the queen of the Kyoto-Osaka line, is nearing its end.
