This Nagoya subway train was traveling east to Toyota City via the Meitetsu Toyota Line, which is also 1067mm/3'6" gauge. Series N3000 trains were introduced in 2012 on the Tsurumai Line, which opened in 1977.

Dear reader,

Those damn diesel flirts have been zooming around here every since I was alive here in Limburg, Netherlands. As you can see in the first picture they are putting up poles for overhead lines. Very exciting!

In the picture you can also see a glimpse of the bicycle bridge that has been put next to the train bridge a few years ago. Such a delight!

For those curious I got a Pentacon 135mm F2.8 for 20,- Euros from my local thrift store. Photography really doesn't have to be expensive!! I urge you all to get a cheap DSLR and vintage lenses if you are thinking about picking up the hobby.

The body I use is a Canon EOS 700D (Rebel T5I for the USM and KISS X7I in japan). I don't recommend it specifically but it's been serving me well. I can't wait to show more of my pictures on here!

Much love,

Lena

From 1944 to 1947, the Japanese Government Railways received fifteen Class B20 0-4-0 tank engines, which were inherited by the Japanese National Railways in 1949. They had been designed as the new standard switcher, but Japan already had plenty of older locomotives working perfectly well as switchers, so the B20s were not widely used. B20.10 (Tateyama Heavy Industries, 1946) was the last one in steam, joining the Umekoji Steam Locomotive Museum when it formed in 1972, and is still displayed at its successor the Kyoto Railway Museum. Being so small at only 7 meters long and 20 tons in service, B20s were nicknamed "bean tanks" (mame-tanku).

Keiō Electric Railway (Inokashira Line) train 1777 (local 07 for Shibuya) leaves Shindaita Station in Tokyo and approaches Shimokitazawa. Inokashira is the only Keiō line to use 1067mm/3'6" gauge instead of 1372mm/4'6" gauge.

Kyoto subway (Karasuma Line) train 1113 for Shin-Tanabe stops at Tambabashi (Kyoto) on the southbound Keihan track. Series 10 trains inaugurated Kyoto subway service when the Karasuma Line opened in May 1981, but the original trains were 4 cars and had a different cab, while later Series 10 trains like 1113 were built with 8 cars and this style of cab.

Little engines at the Severn Valley Railway yesterday.

Tokyo Metropolitan Government Transportation Bureau (Toei) 1372mm/4'6" gauge streetcar 5501 (Naniwa Sharyō, 1954) is the only survivor of seven double-ended PCCs ordered during the post-WW2 modernization of the Tokyo metropolitan tramways (Toden). It is mechanically similar to most other PCCs, including pedal controls, but different from most other Toden trams. All seven Series 5500 cars were retired in 1967 when Toei closed tram route 1 (Shinagawa-Ginza-Ueno), and most were scrapped, leaving 5501 as the only preserved Japanese PCC. It is displayed at Toden-Omoide-Hiroba, the free tram museum next to Toei Arakawa Line "Sakura Tram" depot Arakawashako. The builder is still in business, as Naniwa Sharyō renamed itself Alna Sharyō and is still building light rail and tram cars.
