Life on the Oigawa Railway, Ieyama Station
#TrainTwitterpic.twitter.com/5xKsKjxxgu
Since the Oigawa Railway was built by an electricity company to facilitate dam construction, its route is very sparsely inhabitedpic.twitter.com/XE8i4A6VyY
Electrification and passenger service started in 1949; freight was discontinued in 1983.pic.twitter.com/JrhisfO5MA
Tourists love the Oigawa Railway for its hot springs, hiking, and the occasional steam train demonstrations This is Jina Stationpic.twitter.com/HXUnhWI31Y
More shots of Jina--the stations on this route are gorgeous

Next is Sakidaira, then Senzu, where the Oigawa Railway's two lines meet. We'll continue up the river valley on their Ikawa Linepic.twitter.com/22OdnfSHqz
The Ikawa Line was moved when a new dam flooded part of the old route--the new line is very steep; uses an Abt rack system for part of itpic.twitter.com/xfpSDBIHkt
The Ikawa Line is also very unusual in Japan because of its low platforms. I wonder if the rolling stock is imported? Looks comfy either waypic.twitter.com/29jHA9Skvh
The highlight of the new alignment is Okuoikojo Station, high above the flooded former alignmentpic.twitter.com/6dHrpTwfT4
Finally we reach the terminal, Ikawa Station! It appears you can ride a boat further upstream here, but that might have been discontinued...pic.twitter.com/9lSfXAACO5
