Here are some drawings of Japanese railway locomotives throughout history drawn by an acquaintance of mine from the Philippines 🇵🇭 called Roberto Go. He gave me permission to post these here and I believe they're all something that every Japanese rail fan alike can glance at with delight. Can you guess which of these are my favorites? 🌸 He says there may be more on the way, particularly of preserved Japanese SL of today, like a certain 2-6-0 that we all know how much I love.

Here's an interesting link: http://gizmodo.com/13-gorgeous-travel-posters-from-1930s-japan-1533432495 Several of these have various 'tetsudou kyoku' names at the bottom. I don't know what the exact organizational structure was, but these were some kind of divisions or branch offices of Japanese Government Railways, predecessor of JNR. All horizontal writing is right-to-left. The second poster is sponsored by Governor-General of Korea Railways (not part of JGR, apparently) and the Sendai poster near the bottom shows a lot of older kanji.
