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
