Academic English Articles About Japanese Trains

[mwsteele]

Hey everyone,

 

I'm doing an essay for a class and was just wondering if I could ask for your help in finding academic articles about Japanese trains since WW2. I'm taking a multidisciplinary approach and examining the relationship between Japanese train transportation, history and geography. I'm having trouble finding articles in English though, so if anyone can help that would be great!
