Information about Tokyu was taken from the following sources: "Tokyu" by Michikazu Miyata, Hoikusha Books; The Railway Pictorial, July 1994; Toshi Kotsu Nenpo 1994 (Urban Transportation Yearbook). I also thank Naoaki Okada in Tokyo for sending me lots of information on Tokyu, especially about the history and the rolling stock.This article was originally published in "Bullet-in" No. 13, the magazine of the Japanese Railway Society. It was updated and slightly shortened for the publication in the Internet.
