Keisei Line (Keisei Electric Railway) Connects Tokyo and Narita Airport

Keisei Line (Keisei Electric Railway) is a railway company. Its trains run from Keisei-Ueno Station in Tokyo to Funabashi, Chiba, and Narita in Chiba Prefecture.
The name "Keisei" combines "Kyo" from Tokyo and "Sei" from Narita.
It was built to carry people visiting Naritasan Shinshoji Temple. Now, it carries many people going to Narita Airport.
From Oshiage Station, its tracks connect to the Keikyu Line through the Toei Asakusa Line.

The 3100 Series with Orange Stripes

The first coloring page is the 3100 series.
This train started running on October 26, 2019. It is used for the "Access Express" on the Narita Sky Access Line.
The guide color for the Narita Sky Access Line is orange. So, it has orange color on the front and sides of the train.
For people going to the airport, some seats fold up so you can put your suitcases there.

The Dark Blue Skyliner

The second coloring page is the Skyliner (AE series) running under the blue sky.
This limited express train came out in 2010. It connects Keisei-Ueno Station and Nippori Station with Narita Airport.
On the Narita Sky Access Line, it runs at 160 km/h.
This is the fastest speed in Japan for a train running on non-Shinkansen tracks.
The sharp, dark blue front looks so cool.
JR's Narita Express also runs to Narita Airport.

The 3500 Series Running in the Snow

The third coloring page is the 3500 series coming around a curve in the falling snow.
It came out in 1972. It was the very first stainless steel train for Keisei Line (Keisei Electric Railway).
It has been running for over 50 years.
On the front, there are red stripes and blue stripes stacked up and down.
These red and blue stripes are the mark of commuter trains on Keisei Line (Keisei Electric Railway).

Let's Compare the Faces of the Three Trains

The 3100 series has a face framed in orange. The Skyliner has a sharp, streamlined face. The 3500 series has a flat face with red and blue stripes.
Nearly 50 years passed between the time the 3500 series came out and the time the 3100 series came out.
Let's compare how train faces have changed over time.
Try comparing the shapes of the windshield wipers, too!

Color the Type 3100 in Orange and Black

For the Type 3100 on the first page, color around the front window with dark gray and black. Color the left, right, and bottom edges of the window with orange.
Don't forget to color the thin stripe on the side of the train orange, too!
The body is silver. If you put a light layer of gray and leave some of the white paper showing, it will look shiny!

The Skyliner is Navy Blue and White

For the Skyliner on the second page, color the front face and the top part of the front in dark navy blue. Color the side of the train in white.
You can make navy blue by layering a little black over dark blue.
If you leave one white line going straight down the middle of the front face, it will look shiny like light is hitting it!
If you make the sky a bright light blue, the navy blue train will really stand out!

The Type 3500 Has Red and Blue Stripes

For the Type 3500 on the third page, color the red stripe on the front and the blue stripe below it very clearly.
For the snowy ground and the snow on the fence, leave the white paper as it is. Just add light blue for the shadows to make it look like real snow!
If you color the sky gray, it will turn into a snowy day!

The Tracks and Surrounding Scenery

For the grass beside the tracks on the second page, layer yellow-green and dark green.
If you color the woods in the back with a slightly lighter green, they will look like they are far away.
Color the utility poles with dark gray or brown. You can leave the overhead wires uncolored as simple lines!
If you color the fence on the third page dark brown, the white snow will really stand out!

The Design of the Skyliner

The Skyliner was designed by the famous fashion designer Kansai Yamamoto.
The themes of the design are "Wind" and "Dignity." It has a sleek, speedy shape that looks like it is cutting through the wind!

To the Airport in 36 Minutes

The fastest train connects Nippori Station to Airport Terminal 2 Station in about 36 minutes.
The train goes right into the station built underground at the airport!

The Day the Narita Sky Access Line Opened

The Narita Sky Access Line, which the Skyliner travels on, opened on July 17, 2010.
That was also the day the new AE series Skyliner started running!
Before this line was built, the Skyliner had to take a longer route. It used to take more than 50 minutes to get from Nippori Station to the airport.
Thanks to the new line, the travel time to the airport became much shorter!
On the Narita Sky Access Line, besides the Skyliner, you can also see the "Access Express" trains, like the 3100 series, heading to the airport.
Try putting it side by side with the coloring page of the 3100 series from the first picture!
