mystery Japanese trams and electric railways - details wanted

[tramway1435]

Hi, I have uploaded a few 1970s/1980s scans of slides I purchased a while ago to the following site. Can anyone help in identifying the locations (operator/system)?

Thanks for your help.

PS: already "identified":

507065 = Toyama

484061,490062,478060 = Nishi Nippon

466058 = Ohmi Rly (taken where?)

502064 = Kurihara Denen Rly (taken where?)

4420021 = maybe Nagasaki

178013 = Kyoto

161009 = probably Hakodate

4404013,220021 = probably Kochi

Two I can definitely identify:

530069- Konan Rlwy Owani Line, Chuo Hirosaki Station

688094- Nose Dentetsu, Yamashita Station, looking in the direction of Myokenguchi

Those are some pretty damn fly pictures there. I'm pretty tired a.t.m., so I only could recognise one correctly.

 

215020 = Towada Kankou Tetsudou, Misawa Station; KUHA 4400 Type, No. 4406 EMU trailer car. Most probably attached to a 3400 or 3800 Type EMU motor car.

The ones I'm certain of:

 

178013: Keihan Electric Railway works car.

 

208019: Chitetsu/Toyama District Railway, ex-Kaetsuno Railway car, converted to works car/snowplough, most likely at Minami-Toyama.

 

410049, 448055 & 454056: Hokuriku Railway, will check locations.

 

The ones I'm taking a guess on:

 

161009: Looks like Toyama.

 

442054: Nokomi Railway?

 

Cheers,

 

Mark.

442054　is definitely the Nogami Rlwy in Wakayama Pref. It's the moha 20 type (no. 24), ex-Hanshin 601 series. Sorry, can't give you location.

 

502064 = Kurihara Denen Rly (taken where?)

Wakayanagi Station

I must have been asleep when I typed that!    Of course I meant the Nogami Railway. 

 

Cheers,

I think this is on Oigawa Honsen.

The stainless steel EMU looks like a 2nd hand unit from the Hokuriku Railway on the Oigawa Railway company (6000 Series)

 

Here's a movie from the same year of the same train hurling past on the slopes of the Oi river.

 

 

The snowplow loco: I have not a clue at the moment.

Definitely Shin Kanaya Station in Oigawa, Shizuoka.  

Here it is from the other direction... I was standing at the crossing you can see 'under' the orange mirror on the platform in your photo.

Yes, it's a former Hokutetsu "Shirasagi" trainset.

Toyama again, I believe.

 

Right you are, deki 6502.

 

Some very nice scenes from 1975, around closure time:

Those are some awesome pictures! I like the combination of low platforms, tram-like rolling stock and freight operations on this one. A very attractive place to get inspiration for a layout.
