This is a cab view of Sotetsu, a private railway with routes in Kanagawa Prefecture, and the Sotetsu Link Line, which is one of the branch lines of JR's Tokaido Main Line.
This line opened on November 30, 2019. Like the Shonan-Shinjuku Line, this line was converted from a freight line and became a new bypass line connecting Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, and Tokyo. Nishitani Station that appears in the video is a Sotetsu Line station, Hazawa Kokudai Station (newly built when the line opened) is a connecting station between Sotetsu and JR, and Musashikosugi Station is a JR station (Musashikosugi Station also has other stations) A station on the Tokyu Corporation line was also built in 2013).
With the opening of this line, Sotetsu and JR began direct service, and Sotetsu's EMU, which had previously only run within Kanagawa Prefecture, now runs within Tokyo and beyond that into Saitama Prefecture. The line runs parallel to the existing Shonan-Shinjuku Line tracks between Tsurumi Station and Musashi-Kosugi Station, and from Musashi-Kosugi Station it connects to the Shonan-Shinjuku Line tracks heading towards Tokyo.
This video covers 18.7km from Nishitani Station to Musashikosugi Station. The train runs from west to east in the red area shown on the map.
