Title： Shooting date： Wednesday, November 14, 2018 Picture taken at： Shin-Yamaguchi station Category： West Japan Railway Company Photo date: Wednesday, November 14, 2018 Location: #Shin-Yamaguchi station Category: #Railway #JR West It's been a while since I've photographed a #steam locomotive♪ The location this time was JR West (#West Japan Railway Company) Shin-Yamaguchi Station in Yamaguchi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. I came to meet the Lady, the ace of the #SL Yamaguchi train, [C57 Type Steam Locomotive No. 1] (SL Distribution), which is coming from the Umekoji Steam Locomotive Museum in Kyoto City to take part in the "#Yamaguchi Steam Locomotive Fair 2018" to be held on Friday the 23rd of this month. According to the original plan, the locomotive was to operate on the Yamaguchi Line as the "SL Yamaguchi" on Sunday, November 25th, in double-headed operation with #D51 No. 200... However, the towing locomotive, #C57 No. 1, had not yet returned to full operation after a breakdown, and it was deemed difficult to operate on the Yamaguchi Line, so it will be towed solely by #D51200 😢 Just when I was thinking "I may not be able to see it this year💦", I received news that it will be taking part in the "Yamaguchi SL Fair 2018"♬ *The following is from a related article. = [C57] Temporary Homecoming to Shin-Yamaguchi = November 14th 20:38 NHK Yamaguchi NEWS WEB The steam locomotive C57, which pulls the popular tourist train [SL Yamaguchi] on the JR Yamaguchi Line, has returned to Shin-Yamaguchi Station for the first time in about half a year from Kyoto, where it is undergoing repairs. The steam locomotive C57-1, which can be said to be the face of the [SL Yamaguchi], is undergoing repairs at a maintenance facility in Kyoto after a defect was found in the vehicle during a test run in May of this year. The C57 steam locomotive will be temporarily returning to Yamaguchi to be exhibited at the Yamaguchi SL Fair 2018, which will be held at Shin-Yamaguchi Station on November 23rd. Just before 1pm on the 14th, it made its first appearance at JR Shin-Yamaguchi Station in about six months, pulled by an electric locomotive. According to JR West, the C57 is still not in perfect condition and has already been cancelled for this season's service. However, as it was returning to Shin-Yamaguchi Station after a long time, enthusiastic train fans came to the station platform and took lots of pictures of the Lady's graceful figure. A local man said, "I'm glad to see the C57 again after such a long time, but it's a shame it won't be running this season. I want to see it running soon." The Yamaguchi SL Fair 2018 will be held on November 23rd at the Shin-Yamaguchi Station depot. The C57 and the D51, which currently pulls the SL Yamaguchi, will be exhibited side by side, and there will also be events such as a ride experience where you can put coal into the kettle.
