Product Description
- The 17th volume of the [RM Re-Library] series is a combined volume of RM Library volumes 58 and 59, [Summer 1955 Hokkaido Private Railway Tour (Part 1 and Part 2)] (written by Eiichi Aoki).
- The author is a leading researcher on private railways in various regions, but his life's work began with a 19-day trip to Hokkaido during his student days.
- On this trip, he visited most of the private railways in Hokkaido (including simple tracks and dedicated lines) that were in operation at the time, and left detailed records.
- The results have been reflected in many research books and research articles, but I feel that this book has great value as a stand-alone travelogue that once again summarizes the fresh sensibilities of young people at the time.
- Also, most of the private railways in Hokkaido have been abolished at present, and it can be said that it is worth noting that the industrial structure has changed and the local industry has been lost.
- In 1955, the author boarded the Seikan ferry [Toya Maru] on his way back to Tokyo and returned safely to Tokyo.
- However, one month later, the Toya Maru was sunk by a typhoon.
