Product Description

This book clearly introduces the appeal of sleeper trains and overnight trains through documents and photographs.
We have compiled the history of trains that once ran across the country and published an overview of major trains along with maps and faithfully reproduced timetables.
We will provide detailed information on express and rapid night trains, focusing on the train affectionately known as the Blue Train.
The book also contains extensive explanations of the rolling stock, including a detailed description of the structure and characteristics of the 14 series and 24 series 25-type passenger cars, which were the mainstay of the former Blue Train.
The exhibition also introduces the locomotives that pulled the passenger trains, along with their lineage, to provide a complete picture of sleeper trains from both the rolling stock and operation perspectives.
As a record for railway fans, it is a highly preserved work that accurately conveys the scenes of the time.
