[Contents introduction]
From "RM LIBRARY" which has a long history of more than 270 issues, "RM Re-Library" is a collection of 2 to 3 volumes of the past masterpiece and reprinted. Volume 15 of the series is a double volume of "Genealogy of Private Railway Buying Electrical Machinery (Top and Bottom)" written by Fumio Yoshikawa. "RM Re-Library" is an early number of volume 3 and 4 of the RM Library.
"Buying" here means that Japan National Railways bought private railway lines for wartime transportation and incorporated them into its network. In the Tokyo metropolitan area, Nambu Line and Ome Line fall under this category. In the rural areas, Senseki Line, Minobu Line, Oito Line, Iida Line, Hanwa Line and Ube Line fall under this category. The electric locomotives that were bought by Japan National Railways were given the type and number as locomotives of Japan National Railways. Some of them worked on the original lines and others worked on different lines. After playing a certain role in Japan National Railways, many of them were sold to other private railways, and some of them are still used for business purposes.
Since electric locomotives were completed before the war, both imported from abroad and domestically produced in the early period, there are many locomotives with technical characteristics, and they are rich in variety in form. In addition, there are many things to see in that they followed an unusual fate.
This book is written by the late Fumio Yoshikawa, who was a leading figure in the history of private railway cars. It has a first class finish not only as a material but also as a reading material. It contains a little bit of pathos and a sentence that suggests attachment.
