In this nostalgic and historic railway journey, the video captures the final moments of the Shin-Keisei Line as it operates under the Shin-Keisei Electric Railway banner for the last time before its transition to the Keisei Electric Railway Matsudo Line. Filmed on the early morning of April 1, 2025—right after the clock strikes midnight—the creator boards the final Shin-Keisei train departing from Keisei-Tsudanuma Station to Kunugiyama Station.

The atmosphere is both solemn and celebratory, as rail enthusiasts gather to witness the end of an era. The train, filled with passengers and railway fans alike, marks a symbolic conclusion to a decades-long chapter in Chiba Prefecture’s regional transit history. The video captures onboard scenes, stations passed en route, and emotional farewells from regular riders and train staff.

The route from Keisei-Tsudanuma (京成津田沼) to Kunugiyama (くぬぎ山) marks a part of the greater Shin-Keisei Line, which connected various communities across Chiba. From April 1, 2025, this line will be officially absorbed into Keisei’s network, rebranded as the Keisei Electric Railway Matsudo Line. Enthusiasts and locals remember the unique role Shin-Keisei played, from its pink-and-white car designs to its long-standing service integral to Chiba’s suburban transit.

Shin-Keisei Electric Railway began operations in the post-war period and served as a vital connector within the Keisei Group network. Although it will continue under a new name and administration, this transformation marks a significant shift in regional railway history. For train fans, this video serves as a rare and historical document capturing the final ride of a beloved railway line.

For those intrigued by railway culture in Japan, this video is not just about trains—it’s a homage to community, local history, and the ever-changing landscape of Japanese public transportation.
