"According to Odakyu Railways, on August 12th at around 6:50pm, the Limited Express train (10 cars) from Shinjuku bound for Machida had just crossed a bridge across the Tamagawa River between Izumi-Tamagawa and Noborito stations when it was struck by lightning. Though a portion of the car was scorched, there were no injuries to the passengers or crew."
