THE RED ARROW IN TOYAMA

I was a bit surprised to see an old “Red Arrow,” a limited express train of Seibu Railway that I once rode as a child, at Unazuki Onsen Station on the Toyama Chiho Railway. According to Wikipedia, it was sold to this regional line after its retirement from Seibu and is now about 40 years old.

子どもの頃に乗ったことがある西武鉄道の特急「レッドアロー号」を富山地方鉄道の宇奈月温泉駅で発見して、ちょっと驚く。ウィキペディアによると、西武での引退後にこのローカルな鉄道会社に売られ、現在車齢は40年くらいとのこと。
