Meitetsu Lines (Nagoya Railroad) Run Around Nagoya

Meitetsu Lines (Nagoya Railroad) is a railway company that runs in Aichi and Gifu Prefectures.
With Meitetsu Nagoya Station at the center, its tracks spread out like a spiderweb to places like Toyohashi, Gifu, Inuyama, and Chubu Centrair International Airport.
Many trains of Meitetsu Lines (Nagoya Railroad) are painted in a red color called Scarlet, so people say, "Meitetsu means red trains!"
Even though Meitetsu Nagoya Station has only a few platforms, it is a busy station where many trains come and go one after another.

The Airport Limited Express μ-SKY

The first coloring page shows the 2000 series of the Airport Limited Express "μ-SKY".
It connects Meitetsu Nagoya Station with Chubu Centrair International Airport, which sits on the sea.
The nickname of the airport is Centrair.
The train first appeared in 2005 when the airport opened.
Its whitish body with blue accents makes it look different from other trains of Meitetsu Lines (Nagoya Railroad).
It has a special feature that lets it tilt slightly on curves so it can run without slowing down.

Panorama Super with Observation Seats

The second coloring page is the "Panorama Super" running along a curve near a mountain.
This limited express train first appeared in 1988.
The driver's cabin is on the second floor above the roof. So the front seats right below it are observation seats, where you can see the view ahead through big windows!
Look for its two-color body: white on top and red on the bottom.

The 9500 Series with a Red Face

The third coloring page is the 9500 series running along tracks near an apartment building.
It is a new commuter train of Meitetsu Lines (Nagoya Railroad).
The red on its front and side stripes really stands out against its silver body!
The big black glass in the middle of its front and its slant-eyed lights are the special features of the 9500 series' face.

Compare the Colors of the 3 Trains!

The μ-SKY has a whitish body with blue, the Panorama Super has two colors—white and red—and the 9500 series has a silver body with red.
Many trains of Meitetsu Lines (Nagoya Railroad) use red, but the μ-SKY going to the airport has blue accents.
The white and red of the Panorama Super have long been loved as the colors of limited express trains on Meitetsu Lines (Nagoya Railroad).
Put your coloring pages side by side and compare the different colors!
The number and shape of the lights are also different for each train.

Make blue the star on the Mu-Sky

For the first Meitetsu Lines (Nagoya Railroad) coloring page, the Mu-Sky, color around the front left and right windows black, the tall strip in the middle silver, and the very bottom of the front blue.
The side of the train body is a whitish silver, with blue vertical stripes at the doors.
If you use a slightly bright blue, it will look like a fresh, cool train heading to the airport!

The Panorama Super is white and red

For the second Meitetsu Lines (Nagoya Railroad) coloring page, the Panorama Super, color the top half of the train body white and the bottom half red.
It looks great if you color the thin stripe between the two colors light gray.
Color the stripe where the lights are black, and color only the lights yellow. That will make them look like glowing eyes!
For the mountains in the background, use green, dark green, and a little brown here and there to make them look like real nature.

Give the 9500 Series a bold red face

For the third Meitetsu Lines (Nagoya Railroad) coloring page, the 9500 Series, color the front red and the center glass black.
Color the side of the train body silver, and add a red stripe under the windows.
If you color the apartment building in the background light beige or brown, it will look just like a real town along the train tracks!

The tracks and scenery around them

Color the track rails brown, and color the ties and stones gray.
For the grass in the front of the third picture, use light green and dark green. Change the color for each leaf to make it look full of life!
Let's color the frames of the power line poles dark gray.
Color the sky light blue, and leave the clouds white!

The Trains That Took Over for the Panorama Car

Meitetsu Lines (Nagoya Railroad) used to have a super famous train called the "Panorama Car" (7000 series) that debuted in 1961.
It was the very first train in Japan to move the driver's seat to the second floor and put observation seats at the very front!
The Panorama Super came out in 1988 as the train to take over for that Panorama Car.
Even after the Panorama Car retired, trains with observation seats are still a big hit on Meitetsu Lines (Nagoya Railroad)!

The Train Bound for the Airport on the Ocean

Chubu Centrair International Airport, where the Mu-Sky goes, is built on an island made by filling in the ocean of Ise Bay.
The train crosses a long bridge from the mainland to the island to reach the airport station.
The fastest Mu-Sky train gets you from Meitetsu Nagoya Station to the airport in about 28 minutes!

An Airport Limited Express with All Reserved Seats

The Mu-Sky is a limited express train where every seat is reserved, so you need a special ticket to ride.
It also has spaces to put large luggage, making it easy to use for people taking a flight.
The entrance to the airport terminal building is right in front of the airport station!
