Japan's Railway 146 Aniversary I work as a volunteer at Kumamoto station every Sunday. I met tourists from UK yesterday there. The senior couple were looking for a ticket gate. They have been travelling around Kyushu island by taking rocal rail-lines. They went to Hitoyoshi by Hisatsu Orange Line on Saturday, then they were going to Misumi by A -Train. Hisatsu Orange Line and A-Train are most popular local lines in Kyushu. I'm glad that people from overseas enjoy Japanese unique and beautiful local trains. Coincidently yesterday ( October 14th) was a 146 years aniversary of Japan Railway. Japan's first railway (between Shinbashi and Yokohama) opend October 14, 1872. I should I have said thank you to the UK tourists? Because I think Japanese people used to learn how to make stream locomotives from UK. I think I lost a chance to broden a conversation. I wonder if they were traingeek...or not. I'm kind of traingeek.
