Trains!!! I love Trains!

Hi there everyone!

I have been running around everywhere trying to find someone that will give me money hired me from April....   As I am running short on both my allowed Visa Stay in Japan and Money time to my next payments on my credit cards, I have to find somewhere quick!

But though all the madness, I was able to take a quick break from it all.

After my very early morning interview in Kisarazu 木更津  grabbed an Onigiri  (Ball of Rice) from the convenient store and started to head back to Chiba...

When I arrive I was greeted by this at Kisarazu Station!!



A STEAM TRAIN  !!!

Oh I love trains !  It was so amazing!!  I asked a few people at the station and they said that anyone could go in side and take pictures!  So I pulled out my phone and started shooting.

Then I asked... Where is the train going? Can I get a ticket?

The train master replied... Some people have reserved tickets along time ago... but you can check if an one had canceled at the gate...

I walked over to the gate and!!!!  There were 3 tickets left!!!  Someone has canceled!

I quick bought tickets and had only 5 mins before departure!

Like Charlie in "Charlie and the chocolate factory"  I ran like I had a golden ticket!!


Last picture before getting on!


A rode the train for about 40 mins till we got near Chiba where the train stopped for viewing...

I was able to take some good shots....  and took some footage...

MASSIVE!!



This still works!!!






 The were two trains pulling the cars on both sides..   Like the movie Unstoppable..
Either the stream train didn't have much power left in her or just for safely ...

Here is the other side
