A blue liveried 103 series EMU seen awaiting the departure of the 17:16 Wadamisaki Branch Line service at Hyōgo Station on 27th October 2020. The branch is one of a handful of lines where the venerable 103 series operates regularly, though this line operates only in mornings and evenings to service the many factories in the area. The line passes the large Kawasaki Heavy Industries plant where rolling stock intended for the domestic and export markets is constructed.
