Product Description
- The Kominato Railway, which runs 39.1 km between Goi and Kazusa-Nakano in Chiba Prefecture, began commercial operation in March 1925 (Taisho 14) when the Goi–Satomi section opened.
When the line first opened, imported steam locomotives from manufacturers such as Baldwin of the United States and Koppel of Germany were purchased and began pulling passenger and freight cars. However, by 1928 (Showa 3), when the line was fully extended to Kazusa-Nakano, gasoline cars were introduced early on, and even after passenger transport was switched to diesel cars, internal combustion railcars have remained the main form of transportation.
- This book provides detailed information about all of the vehicles that have been in service with Kominato Railway since its founding, starting with the steam locomotives and two-axle or bogie wooden passenger cars from the time the line first opened, to steam railcars, gasoline cars, freight cars, and the flagship diesel car, the Kiha 200 series, which has been in service for over half a century, the Kiha 40 series, which was purchased from JR in recent years and has become a hot topic, and even the tourist train, the Boso Satoyama Trolley.
