Product Description
How did electric and diesel railcars that had finished their service in Japan end up in other countries, how were they modified, and how were they used there?
This book traces the history of Japanese trains that were sent to Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Thailand, not only the history of the trains themselves, but also the railway conditions in each country, the background of their introduction, and their subsequent fate.
By learning about a single train car, we can uncover surprising connections between Japan and Southeast Asia.
