``` [Illustrated Japanese Railways] Shikoku/Kyushu Line "Shikoku Eastern/Western Area" 2-Book Set A must-have for railway enthusiasts, enjoying the "unrestricted" layout of railway lines and streetcar lines through wiring diagrams. This is a grand project where the author personally rode and surveyed all lines to create railway wiring diagrams that are not publicly available anywhere. This is the 4th installment of the "Illustrated Japanese Railways Series," featuring a 2-volume set covering the Shikoku Eastern Area and the Shikoku Western Area from the Shikoku/Kyushu Line. This book covers not only JR lines but also private railways and third-sector railways such as Tosa Kuroshio Railway, Iyo Railway, and Toden, as well as freight lines, condensing the appeal of "wiring diagrams" essential for understanding the present and future of railways. The all-color, expanded wiring diagrams are a treat for "switch fanatics," allowing you to see the point arrangements, crossovers, and double slips when entering stations, as if you were sitting next to the driver. You can also easily grasp the existence of private lines and sidings. Furthermore, the new station data, which can be used as an index, includes a total of over 500 stations in Shikoku. Volume 1 features the phantom "Honshi Kodan" (Honshu-Shikoku Bridge Authority) constructed Shinkansen trackbeds and the "Triangle Line" in Utazu, and includes wiring diagrams for the JR Honshi-Bisan Line, Tokushima Line, and Tosa Kuroshio Railway Gomen-Nahari Line. Volume 2 is packed with interesting feature articles, such as an analysis of the gauge-changing train GCT, a follow-up on the "Hoyo Undersea Tunnel" plan, and a visit to the site of the Besshi Copper Mine Railway. JR Yosan Line, Dosan Line, and Tosa Electric Railway are illustrated in detail, and you can easily understand the wiring situations of the famous remote stations and railway lines such as Tsubojiri Station, Shingai Station, Tosa-Kitagawa, Osugi, and Yachigawa. JR Shikoku was established when people in their 40s today were children. These wiring diagrams will be valuable materials for tracing how the railway has evolved. This is a highly valuable book recommended for those who want to deeply enjoy railways from the perspective of "maps" and "wiring diagrams." 2013 Kodansha B5 size 96 pages Almost new, in very good condition. #Other Railway Books Here #Travel Guides and Maps Here #Other "JNR Abandoned Lines" Here #Other "Abandoned Private Railway Related Items" Here #Railway Wiring Diagrams #Kodansha #Remote Stations #Descent Tetsudo (Getting off at stations) #Station Travel #Travel and Railways #Private Lines #Dosan Line #Yosan Line #Tokushima Line #Gomen-Nahari Line #Tosa Electric Railway #Iyo Railway #Tosa Kuroshio Railway #Switches #Tsubojiri Station #Shingai Station #Besshi Copper Mine Railway #Hoyo Undersea Tunnel #Shikoku Railways #Streetcars #Wiring Diagram Mania ```
