Another great image...I just love the deco lines and the overall style, sophistication, elegance and quality, and aesthetic quality and detail (of this era)...right through to the 60's really...such qualities, attention to detail and desire to achieve it, now largely vanished and cease to exist..the highstreets/shops/and elegantly dressed people, as seen above, being a good example of what's not there anymore.

Amos Burke" Burke’s Law (1963-1966), of which 11 episodes were directed by Jerry Hopper ...

It's like I'm imagining she's listening to Joan Jett and the Blackhearts and Girlschool, and he's listening to Black Flag and Agnostic Front.

You almost expect to see Godzilla appearing over the hill and taking a swipe at the train, only for it to narrowly escape into the tunnel.
Or if that is italicized Chinese, then I expect everyone on board to be wearing Mao suits.
It does have a ‘Godzilla’ sense to it or ‘Ultraman.’ It says, “Zoom Car” by Nankai Railway Company and there’s a Wikipedia entry for NRC: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nankai_9000_series ‘Zoom Car’ as a name for something reminds me ‘Z-Cars’ ... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z-Cars
