You think that train was hired by the Aizu line to inspect the tracks, or was it simply passing through to some JR line?

they're probably moving it from winter storage or something like that to whatever line it's gonna run on for summer, just a wild guess

Can't believe I missed the steam train, earliest I could rewind was back to a guy having a footbath at 4am. Very cool, it looks like the one from the old days of the Aizu stream.

>>50943245
God what a pixelated mess. I guess 2 minutes with a lot of movement on screen is push it too far.

>>50942583
So the thing under the green covers they installed in the last thread was a water pump for the steam engine.

Wait a minute, are they going to run the steam engine on this line now? I mean, why install a water pump when you can just use a water truck for a one-off stop? And they had the JR line inspection train going past a few days ago, perhaps it was checking the ability of the line to handle the stream train rather than just passing through? It is a scenic line with a famous historical stop, it would make sense to run a historical train on it...

>>50942384
This could be why >>50939276 was on the line the other day.

I knew it, they are definitely testing for steam train trips on this line!

I guess word got out, a lot more otaku this time than the night before. And it must be easy to get from the road on the left to the platform, I saw a few emerging from the bushes.

If an SL service starts up on the Aizu line, I wonder if it will just be from Aizu Tajima to Wakamatsu or if it will start in Nikko and do that whole run to Wakamatsu. That would be real nice (except the tunnels, perhaps).
If it does go from Nikko, on days that line up you could take SLs all the way from Nikko to Niigata.

Guys, I'm not positive but I think the SL was this one
https://www.steamlocomotivejapan.com/c11-325
which is associated with Tobu rail and operates on the same line that leads up to Aizu Tajima.

Either way, it would be serious competition for the Oza-Toro local tourist train if it going to be a regular service and not just some one-off special/anniversary thing. But if they are going to do this, they might as well do it properly and start at Nikko and go all the way up.

The steam engine is always at the front so the entire train has been reversed on a loop or wye or triangular junction.

As I mentioned before, there's a regular SL service that goes between Wakamatsu and Niigata.

there are sumo tournaments live streams like this: https://www.twitch.tv/midnightsumo
interesting to spot cuties in the crowd
sometimes maikos show up

God this upload was annoying, I don't know how webm guy does it. I had hoped he would post a webm of the steam train but alas you must make do with my mediocre attempt. I couldn't get it under 4.28mb, so I posted it here >>>/wsg/6152198

There is >>50943163 but that isn't the same train. Yours is quite nice though. I was able to get it down just below 4 without losing much

>>50963788
It's the same train, just going the other direction.

>>50963796
I knew someone would mention that. I meant to say that it had more cars and was going in the other direction

>>50963805
It was the same number of cars.

I'm not exactly sure what you were doing girl with camera tripod but I assuming recording some sort of video at the station. Hopefully it came out well for you. It was like an hour before the train came so I feel I can rule out train spotting. From 5:24 to 5:47 May 23

They are flat cars for transporting lengths of rail and each one used to have a hoist on the gantry.

Don't really get the appeal of crossings in Shibuya, it is just famous for being famous. Plus I hate crowds.
