Ooigawa Railway Thomas and Friends 大井川鉄道 きかんしゃトーマス
Ooigawa Railway 大井川鉄道 has setup a Steam Locomotive (SL) Park SL広場 in Shinkanaya Station 新金谷駅.
They also operate the world famous Thomas and Friends SL trains. The demand for tickets is very
high and it is next to impossible to get a ticket.
I went to the SL Park without a ticket, and just wanting to take a few pictures of the SL Thomas
run. Somehow the staff in the park handed me a helmet and I found myself inside the SL maintenance area.
Thomas and Friends is a British children's TV series starting 1984, and is about the adventures of SL Thomas
and his fellow SLs on the fictional island of Sodor.
The nearest train station is Shinkanaya station 新金谷駅 of Ooigawa Railway Ooigawa Main Line 大井川鉄道大井川本線.
