Remarks & Notes

What the hell is the man doing with his locomotive? What looks like a little steam engine, produces the same noises including the whistle with the help of loudspeakers and let escape some steam from the cylinders, is in reality a diesel locomotive that runs on the 1067 millimeter (3 ft 6 in) cape gauge tramway system of Matsuyama. Here the locomotive is turned in little more than a minute by the two drivers with the help of a built-in lifting and rotating mechanism in Dogo station. The locomotive is used for tourist trains, called "Botchan Train", with two cars on the tramway network of Matsuyama.
