Ken,

I remember Shinagawa. It was big. If not a station, what's the right term? I
tried to look back through the negs when I read Tarek's message. I'm not
sure where each photograph was taken. The entire subway system was
overwhelming. It was enourmous. In Portland we have a trolly that traverses
a few dozen city blocks. It holds enough people to fill up a small choir.
Sort of an acorn. Tokyo's mass transit was an oak tree in comparison. 

Dave

Yep.  So, it's not technically a subway station.
