Commuters stranded by thundering rainstorm in Tokyo

TOKYO, Japan - Commuters are stranded at JR Shimbashi Station in Tokyo on July 29 as a thundering rainstorm knocked out train service of the busy JR Yamanote and Keihin-Tohoku lines. The downpour also halted the Shinkansen bullet train service between Shinagawa in Tokyo and Odawara in Kanagawa Prefecture and cut short a pre-Olympic soccer game in Tokyo between Japan and Argentina.
