I originally posted this as a reply to the Echigo Kotsu Moha1400 thread from the old forum, but I think these vintage photos would get lost in the board. You will see Moi No. 51 pulling four wheel freight cars, which in its self is a real treat of vintage iron. There is also what looks like a hand made diamond for the line. Freight operation ended 1982.7.1 and line was suppressed April 4 1999.
