A Close-Up Look at the “Akado Train” Brought to Mukogawa Danchi Square

I was curious what happened to the “Akado-sha” train brought to Mukogawa Danchi Plaza after the event, so I went to take a look.

This article is brought to you by “Nichinoken,” a cram school that supports Nishitsu.

The traditional colors of the Akado-sha are a two-tone combination: cream on the upper half and a reddish color called vermilion on the lower half.

It looks just like a station! The pantograph is raised, too.

It looks ready to start running any moment.All aboard〜🚃

This place is Mukogawa Danchi (Station?)The route symbol is UR, and the station number is 258. It seems [258] is the housing complex code.

There’s even a vending machine for diapers with an Akado-sha design.

Finally

Apparently, you can only go inside the Akado-sha during events, but this feels like a rare place where you can see it up close. It may have become a spot that anyone can enjoy, not just children and railway fans.
