Sumitomo Metals crossing Amagasaki

They should replace the coupler with body mounted Micro-Trains couplers for closer coupling. That Accumate coupler just looks silly.

Went looking for this system...it's pretty large! The factory is located in Amagasaki harbour, you can fin it by looking for a N-S street with a large traffic backlog and a truck making a right turn at the gate. Below is a GE image of their enginehouse with quite a gaggle of critters waiting for action.

Photographers You Tube notes:

 

2011.08.11 shooting.

Fuji Paper Plant has dedicated lines to the southeast from the station and grow Tokaido Fuji.

Previous visit (before six months) could not be taken without a driving holiday in partly that, we wanted to use Bon vacation taken during the week a little early.

1 hour waiting, finally started loading and unloading. But the freight vehicles that have been drawn breath. . . . Luxury is the situation say, a little disappointing as I wanted to Wamuhachi. Again this year - the challenge.

 

There's also this video on the Gakunan Railway taken the same day by the same photogrpaher.  Isnt' Fuji paper a major industry on the Gakunan?

 

 

South Railway Station-dake chicks taken at 2011/08/11.

Paper-only after taking a line, a station aimed at chicks. Entered the scene, but did not change much shooting, ♪ let alone the good that he's Wamuhachi 見Reta

looks like they are using tow bars in-between couplers. I guess to save time. Same purpose.
