Locomotive are out of use simply because they pollute too much
and waste approximately 60% of the energy generated by using coal.
However, those who love the old glories, Japan is the right place to
feel those days when locomotives were used. However, the one we’re
talking about isn’t a big one but the smallest. Running on pieces of
charcoal stuffed into the engine, the smallest locomotive runs on 100
meter long track built alongside the Hanshin railway next to Iwaya Park.
The locomotive is capable enough to ferry around 15-20 people at a time
with a maximum speed of 7-10 km per hour. Sadly, we don’t know as to
who built it or what inspired the creator, but images and video attached
here are enough for anyone to appreciate this amazing marvel. More
images after the break...
