Japan Railway Travel History Atlas No. 1 Hokkaido: All Lines, All Stations, All Limited Express Trains Following the romance of railway history through maps, the Shinchosha "Tabi" Mook "Japan Railway Travel History Atlas No. 1 Hokkaido." Supervised by Keisuke Imao and Takeshi Harawata, this is an essential resource for railway enthusiasts, thoroughly exploring the 140-year history of railways on the vast land of Hokkaido, focusing on the history of limited express trains (Tokkyu/Express). It includes operation diagrams and detailed chronologies of limited express trains that you'll never find in timetables, vividly reviving the image of "travel" from the past. Especially in Hokkaido, there is a unique railway history from the pioneering period, such as light railways and colonial railways, and its historical background is deeply explored with illustrations. It is extremely valuable to be able to see the whole picture of these abolished light railways, which only core enthusiasts know. One of the highlights of this book is the inclusion of the "Seikan Ferry Chronology and All Ships." Before the opening of the Seikan Tunnel, you can look back in detail at the historical role played by the railway ferry, along with the ship names, and touch upon the history of the iron road that crosses the sea, which is indispensable when talking about the railway history of Hokkaido. The end of the book is packed with columns that stir up travel emotions, such as the "Hokkaido Railway Travel Chronology," "The History of Dining Cars, Ekiben (Boxed Lunches), and Souvenirs," and "Historical Train Windows Left Behind." It is also an excellent guide for deeply understanding the "history you think you know but don't" of Hokkaido railway travel. An "Extra Large Hokkaido Railway History Map" that is easily lost after purchase is included unused. Its rarity is further increased. The meticulously drawn large-format map is a first-class item not only as a resource but also as a collection for overlooking the railway network of the time. For railway fans who love the local lines and abolished lines of Hokkaido, and the history of the glorious limited express trains, this is a permanent preservation edition of the historical atlas that you'll want to keep on hand and revisit again and again. 2010 Shinchosha B5 size 64 pages #Other Railway Books Here #Travel Guides and Maps with a Focus Here #Other "Railway Ferry Related Items" Here #Other Hokkaido Books and Materials Here #Other "JR Hokkaido" Here #Other "Hokkaido Abolished Line Related Items" Here #Other "Light Railway Narrow Gauge Lines" Here #Hokkaido #RailwayHistory #LightRailway #LimitedExpressTrains #SeikanFerry #JNR #JRHokkaido #RailwayTravel #AbolishedLines #KeisukeImao #TakeshiHarawata #Shinchosha #RailwayAtlas #LimitedExpressTrains #ExpressTrains #RailwayFerry
