Product Description
- Kominato Railway is a non-electrified private railway that runs 39.1 km between Goi and Kazusa-Nakano in Chiba Prefecture, founded in 1917 (Taisho 6), and the current section was opened in 1928 (Showa 3). Initially, the plan was for the line to cross the Boso Peninsula to Awa-Kominato, but by connecting with the JNR Kihara Line (now the Isumi Railway) at Kazusa-Nakano, it was possible to cross the Boso Peninsula by rail, so Kominato Station ended up becoming the terminus, and about a century has passed since then.
- Although it is located near the metropolitan area, this line is popular as a so-called "photogenic" line with old-fashioned diesel cars running through scenic scenery. The Kiha 200 series, a diesel car from about 60 years ago, has been the mainstay of the line, but in recent years it has been attracting attention for new topics such as the operation of the tourist train "Boso Satoyama Trolley" and the acquisition of JR's Kiha 40 series diesel cars.
- Volume 288 of this book focuses on the history of the Kominato Railway Line since the company was founded over a century ago, and also introduces the state of each station and buildings designated as nationally designated tangible cultural properties. It also introduces the nearby Nanso Railway Line between Mobara and Okuno, which existed until before the war.
