Re: 1936 Limited Express "Fuji" (none / 0)

I found this site on the Usui Pass line, from one photo it is clear it's a triple Abt. I see this line was converted to non-rack 42 years ago, then closed when the Shinkansen was built to Nagano - what a real shame! However, I also found a Japanese site, with a single line of English text, that suggested it'll be re-built by railfans! If I ever get to Japan, might definitely be worth a visit...

Re: 1936 Limited Express "Fuji" (none / 1)

I went through the Usui pass only once in 1977, and there was no Abt rack anymore, only a powerful electric engine was added to the train to pull.

That pass is also very very beautiful when you drive. Over the pass, there is a famous resort by the name of Karuizawa, which John Lennon and Yoko Ono loved.

Peace.

I will become a patissier, God willing.
