Restored SL train service comes of age
Local authorities in western Japan mark the ''Coming of Age'' of a restored steam-locomotive train service linking Okori in Yamaguchi Prefecture and Tsuwano in Shimane Prefecture 69 kilometers to the north. Built in 1937, the SL train nicknamed ''Kifujin'' (your ladyship) was retired in 1972 and got a second lease of life in 1979 to serve as a tourist attraction on the JR Yamaguchi line straddling the two prefectures.
