Going there in November.

 

Be sure to keep a heads up on the Aonami Line on the way to the museum, there is the big Nagoya Freight Terminal mid way, you may see some shunting locomotives in action there, or perhaps a freight train:

Freight #2071, a Nagoya Freight Terminal- Gifu Terminal container service, passing through Aonami Rlwy Sasashima Live Station.

Bill,

 

thanks mucho. i figured they had their smaller (ie non train carriages) exhibits in smaller rooms off the main train halls.

 

looks like most of the main stuff is on the first floor for exhibits with

 

superconducting maglev room

conventional train driving simulator and train crew simulator

shinkansen train driving simulator

greatest railway diorama room

railway system learning zone

 

ok have to visit!

 

cheers
