Yokohama Old Trains

Checking out some old photos of Yokohama trains and trams. This one is
from 1933.

As well as the classic train interior, take a look at the mixture of
kimono fashion and western suits.

Would you like to hop in a time machine and join them?

    70 years ago the trains here never departed on time. The railroad had a problem with their crew where they took a break whenever they had any time and each break resulted in card playing. The problem was that they didn't stop when they were supposed to leave and all of a sudden the train would be 20 minutes late and the pressure on the boiler would have dropped.

  I wouldn't mind going back in time. Being interested in history means such a trip would be quite interesting. I could accept a one-way ticket but then you guys would miss me, so I better not ^^
