Nankai Dentetsu 6000 Kei Koya Sen Kaisoku Kyuko Namba-Hashimoto Ofuku

[Machine Translation] The Nankai Electric Railway Series 6000 was introduced in 1962 and has been in service on the Koya Line for over 60 years. It was the first 20-meter class all-stainless steel train in Japan, and is known by the nickname "Rustless Tetsujin (iron man)" because of its corrugated plate (corrugated plate) body, which is a technology developed by the U.S. company Budd. In this work, the train was reissued in September 2023 in its original stainless steel, unpainted form. The film includes a round trip on the Koya Line between Namba and Hashimoto, which is a flat section of the line, on a rapid express train. The train departs from Namba and runs on the double track section. On the way, the train passes by Rapito trains as it splits off from the Nankai Main Line and proceeds to the Koya Line. The train heads for Hashimoto with a powerful, rapid express train-like performance that gives no hint of the train's history. The smooth acceleration and distinctive clattering sound of the train's vernier control during departure and acceleration/deceleration enhances the sense of realism of the train. After passing through Chiyoda Station, the train passes by the Chiyoda Inspection District, where many trains are lined up, and soon reaches Mikkaichi-cho. From here onward, the train passes through the Kimi Tunnel, which is a flat section with a maximum height of 33 , and enters Wakayama Prefecture at the Shin-Kimi Tunnel. Approaching Hashimoto, the train runs parallel to the JR Wakayama Line and arrives at Hashimoto, the entrance to the World Heritage Kurokawa Road. After connecting with a train bound for Gokurakubashi, the return trip heads back to Namba with the top number 6001 train in the lead. The special video features include an introduction to the Nankai Electric Railway Series 6000 (6001 + 6907) train type, under-floor equipment, interior decorations, and the driver's cab, all of which will be of interest to fans of the series.

南海電鉄6000系は1962年に導入され、60年以上に渡り高野線で活躍を続ける車両。日本初の20m級オールステンレス車両として誕生し、米国バッド社の技術コルゲート板 (波板)のボディが特徴で「錆びない鉄人」の愛称で親しまれている。本作では、2023年9月にステンレス無塗装の姿を再現し復刻した編成に乗車。高野線の平坦区間である難波～橋本間を、快速急行で往復収録。難波を出発した列車は複々線区間を快走。途中、ラピートとすれ違いながら南海本線と分かれ、高野線へと進む。車歴を感じさせない、快速急行らしい力強い走りで橋本を目指す。出発時や加減速時にはバーニア制御により滑らかな加速と特有の『カタカタ』音が走行の臨場感を引き立てる。千代田駅を通過し、多くの列車が並ぶ千代田検車区を横目に見ながら進むと、やがて三日市町へ。ここから先は、平坦区間でありながら最大33‰の紀見峠越えに挑み、力強い走りでトンネルを抜け、新紀見トンネルで和歌山県へと入る。橋本に近づくとJR和歌山線と並走し、世界遺産黒河道の入り口、橋本に到着。極楽橋方面の列車との接続の後、復路はトップナンバー6001編成を先頭に、再び難波へ向う。映像特典には南海電鉄6000系 (6001編成+6907編成)車両形式紹介、床下機器や車内の装飾、運転台などを記録したファン注目の内容となっている。
