It still looks exactly the same. The last trainmaster must have just locked the door on his last day and left everything as it was. I remember arriving at the station thinking the stationmaster was an eccentric old pack-rat. Everyone was pretty much asleep (including trainmaster and staff) until 2 mins before the train took off. Oddly enough I vividly remember that mouse with the X X as the eyes... Great photos. Thanks for the Nostalgia. Wow, I used that train line during 97-99 while it was still running to visit Mino City.

I also learned a new word, ちんちん電車, although I wonder why they call it that? It even says ちんちんビール電車, so I guess it was like... a beer delivery streetcar?^^ I would love to see this place with my own eyes, especially that one-man train!

Fortunately, there are plenty of other sightseeing spots in the city to make a full day of it. It is, but it won’t take you any longer than half an hour to look around.
