^ thanks for posting JFC san, Ayumi chan is getting a great education
in Television / Variety by appearing on shows like this.
Very interesting show with a theme of various items or
People from Miyagi that influenced other prefectures in Japan...
The tram cars from Miyagi ended up in Nagasaki ken, and one even is in the tram Museum
in Sydney!
A very interesting article (if you are a transportation Otaku)
In this PDF of a 1993 edition of an Austalian publication called 'Trolley Wire'
Check out pages 11-15 for a lot of interesting history of the Sendai, Nagasaki, and
other Japanese tram systems.......
One way that trams are staying alive is to advertise to tourists....both San Francisco and Hong Kong do a great
Job of maintaining their tram systems, and Tokyo still runs a tram line as well!
