Just before sunrise, JRF train 5086 skirts the Sagami Bay coastline south of Odawara with intermodal bound for Tokyo. Leading the way as usual (at least until March 15, 2025) is an EF65.

Sunrise during the summer months can be as early as 0430, but in winter, we won't see it until around 0700. This means during the winter months; the famed Train 5086 will be shrouded in darkness. Despite that, electric boxcabs needed to be photographed. Here EF65-2085 leans into the curve west of Chigasaki with loaded intermodal for Tokyo. In the background slightly obscured by catenary is Mt. Fuji.
