Industrial Loco Photos

[Jace]

While looking for photos on the railway connecting the Yawata steel works in Kitakyushu, I came across a site with a mother lode of industrial locomotive photos:

All kinds of goodies on the Yawata line including freight cars (here's the table of contents alone): http://eurofima.way-nifty.com/aux_amis_des_trains/cat21395063/index.html

 

And then there's this shelf layout candidate in Itoigawa:

Any models of the cars? Looking at satellite photos, there doesn't seem to be any equipment on the line. I wonder if it's been shut down since 2012.

 

Happy browsing!

Hello, I am the owner of the site "Aux Amis des Trains".

Thank you for the introduction.

 

Also today, denka's industrial railway in Itoigawa Oumi works  is now operating.

Because the limestones trains run only 2 or 3 times a day, you cannot see the shape in aerial shoot.

 

I hope you enjoy the Japanese industrial railway. :)

 

Greetings

Hello Mr. President and thank you for sharing the excellent photos! Thanks also for the update on the limestone trains, I'll try and arrange a trip out that way the next time I'm in Japan. While I don't (yet) have a site up with my photos, I do work on and around industrial type locomotives in the US including electric units like this: http://www.nycsubway.org/perl/show?67657

 

Currently figuring out how to build some new diesels!

I love the bus shelters on those Itoigawa hoppers!
