HA but its transporting a potentially invasive species!

Even the butterflies travel by train in Japan.

Not a commercial, but an interesting JR freight yard scene under skyscrapers.

Yes, a nice night departure scene, at Umeda Freight Yard in Osaka.  I reckon judging from the angle that it was taken from the Nakatsu area.  Might be a good place for some photography next time I'm in Osaka.

Is that birdpoop on the front of that EF210?  Sometimes I see locos that appear to be in such poor condition, I have to wonder what happened to them, it really looks like they have been physically vandalized rather than just badly weathered.

Could very well be.  May have been parked under a pigeon roost...At least its not graffiti.
