[Introduction to Contents]
As the leading role of freight transportation has shifted from railways to trucks due to the progress of road construction, the number of locomotives owned by each railway is on a decreasing trend.
As a sequel to the Electric Locomotives, which was taken up in the RM Library volume 280 and 281, this book introduces the history of diesel locomotives owned by private railway companies that were registered on April 1, 1993 (1993) and have been on the line since then.
It consists of three parts : Northern Japan Edition, Kanto-Chubu edition, and Western Japan Edition. The Kanto-Chubu edition includes steam locomotives for preservation and operation.
In the Northern Japan Edition, it explains diesel locomotives owned by 13 companies : Taiheiyo Coal Services & Transportation, Kushiro Development Wharf Tomakomai Port Development, Tsugaru Railway, Nanbu Jukan Railway, Hachinohe Rinkai Railway, Iwate Development Railway, Kosaka Smelting Kosaka Railway, Akita Rinkai Tetsudo, Kurihara Denen Railway, Sendai Rinkai Railway, Fukushima Rinkai Tetsudo, and Niigata Waterfront Railway.
In particular, there is less information than passenger companies, and there are many transfers between companies.
You should not miss an explanation about locomotives owned by Waterfront Railway, a freight company that specializes in freight transportation.
