Description

Up until the late 1960s, this steam train used to travel back and forth between the towns of Tsuwano, in the prefecture of Shimane, and Shin-Yamaguchi, 63km/39mi away, in the Yamaguchi prefecture. Pulled by an ancient but perfectly maintained C571 steam locomotive, for the last forty years it has been transporting tourists in its five carriages, which date from different periods, on a 2hr-journey through unspoiled rural scenery.
