In this chapter, I’ll talk about the steam locomotive that is on display in front of Hitachidaigo (常陸大子) Station on the Suigun Line(水郡線).
This steam locomotive doesn’t work, but steam locomotives were used on the Suigun Line until 1969, and they have continued to run occasionally since then.
Most recently, the steam locomotive on "Okukuji Seiryu Line(奥久慈清流ライン号)" was operated in 2012 and 2014. In 2012, steam locomotive C11 was used, and in 2014, steam locomotive C61 was used.
December 7, 2014 was the last day of the steam locomotive on Okukuji Seiryu Line, and it hasn’t been in operation since then.
The C12 steam locomotive in front of Hitachidaigo Station is C12187.
C12187 was manufactured in 1938 and ran in Kyushu for about 30 years. In July 1967, it was moved from Kyushu to the Mito engine depot, where the Suigun Line is located. It stopped running in March 1969.
① This is C12187.
② This is the explanation board of C12187.
③ I am in front of C12187.
④ I am in front of C12187.
⑤ C12187 and the surrounding area are illuminated. As this is a great opportunity, we'll now take a walk around the city.
⑥ It is the end of February, so Hina dolls are displayed at the information center on Honmachi Street.
⑦ There are many Hina dolls at Daigo Town Cultural Welfare Hall called "Mainn", but dogs are not allowed inside.
⑧ I'm waiting outside. I can see the Hina dolls through the glass, but since the light is reflecting, they are not visible in the photo.
⑨ Plum blossoms are blooming at Junisho Shrine (十二所神社), which is known for the Hina dolls displayed on the 100-step staircase.
