Product Description

--The C56 type steam locomotive, which was born in 1945 for local lines and simple lines, played an active role as a valuable transportation system in regions with fragile transportation networks for 40 years until 1975.
--The number of production is over 160, of which 90 were donated to the southern Indochina Peninsula during the war.
――After the war, the remaining 68 vehicles continued to play an active role on the local line, but in this book, more than half of them, 37 C56s, are photographed.
――The shooting locations are all over the country, but especially the Koumi Line, which was popular as a pony on the plateau, the Iiyama Line in the heavy snowfall area, the scenic Nanao Line, and the Echigo Line, which runs leisurely in the breadbasket of Niigata. It is posted.
――The shooting period was 11 years from 1958 to 1947, and you can see that he is active in various places.
――The history from the birth of the 37 cars taken to the scrapping is posted at the end of the book, which is also valuable as a material.
――The author is the founder of Neko Publishing Co., Ltd., who took many railroad photographs when he was a student, and the image of Toden taken with the previous work `6 × 6 released in August` received high praise. It continues to sell well.
――The number of books dealing with C56 is surprisingly small for its popularity, and there is no doubt that this book that beautifully captures the appearance of C56 in various places will be a valuable book.
