Thank you for an excellent video, your comment about being surprised the cars could pass through is interesting. The 1960 Ford was 81.3 inches wide or 6 3/4feet wide. If you ever go back, you should check to see if it that car would fit on the bridge. Ford Motor company had to hurry up and get approval for this car to go on the road, the width exceeded many states maximum width allowed at that time.
Hello, here is an overview of Kanose Bridge. Bridge length - 172,300 m, Suspension bridge span length - 129,960 m, Width - 3,600 m (suspension bridge section), 4.5 m (beam bridge section) Live load - 6.0 t (vehicle load), Completed - 1953 I was surprised to hear that cars used to pass over it. I think that's because Japanese cars were small and light in the old days. The village office and the station were separated by a river. I guess this area needed a bridge that cars could pass over. Before the bridge was built, a ferry (probably for people) passed over it. It seems that buses also passed over it (but they didn't carry passengers). Unfortunately, I couldn't find a photo of a car passing over it. In 1978, Kanose Ohashi Bridge (1:01) was built parallel to Kanose Bridge, and since then, Kanose Bridge has been used only for pedestrians and bicycles. Today, the suspension bridge is a civil engineering historical structure and is expected to contribute to the town's tourism. Thank you.
Hello. Ryutetsu is a small railway company that operates an old-fashioned local line. It opened in 1916. The trains are purchased from Seibu Railway, a major railway company, and each train is named and painted differently. It is only 25km away from Tokyo Station, so it is known as the closest local line to central Tokyo. Thank you.
The design of the watermelon train was chosen through an open competition, and although it was not based on a watermelon motif, it is familiar to many people as a watermelon train.
I think the white color is monotone and suits the steam locomotive. It also tightens up the body of the train, which is nice. The red color also has a retro feel to it.Thank you.
Reiru, I have now looked at all of the videos you posted on RU-vid. It has been an excellent journey and many thanks. I will be looking forward to your future adventures.
Like you said, you captured everything, The magnificent view of the locomotive in all of its glory. You even caught the sound of the railfans starting their automobiles to chase the locomotive to its next photo opportunity.
another great video. I found the background music intriguing to me. I have an APP called SoundHound, that can help you determine the song/music you are listening to; your song title was "Texas Sky" by Dog Com Music. An interesting fact is that I live in Texas.
WOW! Standing between to two platies, Fantastic. Thank you for showing the sign, Fossa Magna Park. I was then able to goggle it and now I can enjoy what you seen (Somewhat) What a video Trains, scenery, information, fantastic places and noodles.
I took this video when I went on a hot spring trip with some old friends. I think there were more events than usual. We visited a soba restaurant. Even though it was deep in the mountains, many people came to enjoy it. Soba made with mountain water is very delicious. Thank you.
