Tram museum in Munich

The MVG Museum opens at least once a month regularly.

Therefore, you should check opening day and in advance.

Actually, there is exhibition about not only trams but buses and metro. It is slightly inconvenient to visit, however, it is worth to visit and enjoy!

Many trams are operational and seem to run into the city as special train.

It is a great opportunity to get sign plates for destination.

There is a room for tram models

Most of all the explanation are written by both German and English.

Some painting of tram are very impressive.

Buses of the 60's are still movable.

Metro driving simulator

If you want to feel the 60's atmosphere, try to listen Juicy Fruits 's song!!!

The final run of Japanese tram movies (1960's - early70's) & Makka-na-Taiyo

In the past, there are a lot of branch tram lines in Tokyo and Yokohama.

Unfortunately, most of them were abandoned in early 1970's in Tokyo and all of them disappeared in Yokohama...

Everything were changed quickly from the traditional society to the modern society in Japan.

The trans Siberian Railway Part 8 (Final part of journey)

The timetable of Vostok (Train Number 19)

Train run still on the railroad...

Between YEKATERINBURG and Perm 2

Kirov station on Friday morning

It was snowing among the railroad. Everyday, outside of the car it was minus degree in the middle of October.

From morning until midnight the restaurant car offered meals, however, some menu could not be offered due to the lack of foodstuff. It might be individual profit and loss account in each resaurant car...and seemed to not be any replenishment for the car during the journey.
