Old Rare and Obsure Photos


Recommended Posts

To borrow a phrase from the old X2200 South magazine.

 

For those interested in spending lots of time looking at photos of a wide variety of mainly Japanese trains in the 1960-70s period, I came across the following site today: http://satoyama.in/sharyo.html.

 

The photos are generally black and white, many of quite good quality. This site will be of particular interest for those with a traction attraction as there are quite a few fleets (some quite obscure) covered in detail. A sample shot from Kure: http://satoyama.in/info/sharyo/img/imgBD299.jpg. Like me, the photographer liked to spend time around the shops so there are many photos of work equipment and of former cars now serving as sheds and offices. Here's a rather elegant example: http://satoyama.in/info/sharyo/img/imgBD694.jpg.

 

Plenty of photos. I suggest a slow work day...
