Hankai Tramway

To quote a translation:

 

Sakai, Osaka has been riding the train. I ran the old wooden cars still active. Can fully open the window of the driver's seat, is pleasantly cool breeze enters. Is a valuable train.

 

 

I you want to ride don't wait too long.  This line has lost money for years and lost ridership to more recent subways.  There is a chance it may go third sector, but even that may mean the end of the old cars.

Nice video. :)

 

I love these old things... and they are equiped with automatic anouncements.

The Japanese are good at keeping the old but embracing technology at the same time.

New Orleans cars kinda sound like that... except without the chirpy high-pitched announcer lady

I gotta look in to this line a little more.
