レールバス キハ104 夕暮れ撮影会2016秋 (Rail Bus Kiha 104 Yuugure Satsueikai Aki)
The Kiha 104, a diesel train celebrating its 60th anniversary since it was first made in 1956, is the main draw of this year's event.
Railbuses* were used on the Nanbu Jukan Railway Line (南部縦貫鉄道線) running between Noheji and Shichinohe from 1962-1997. Although the line went out of use in 2002 the railbuses have been preserved and maintained in running condition, and are periodically put on public display.
(*A railbus is a very lightweight type passenger rail vehicle (typically non-articulated or rigid frame) (Source: Wikipedia).)
