Focusing on discontinued lines such as the Haboro Line, Iburi Line, Shonabe Line, Tempoku Line, Yumo Line, Shiranuka Line, Hiroo Line, Shihoro Line, Tominai Line, Manji Line, and Fukana Line, this book looks back at the railways and people of the final days of the Japanese National Railways through rare photographs. This book will bring back fond memories, including images of trains bustling with commuters and students, the engineers and station staff operating the trains, seeing passengers off on station platforms, and peddlers carrying large furoshiki wrappings.
