Canard's "Trains of Japan" Thread

[Canard]

Thanks for the kind words; I love taking photos of these systems almost as much as I like the systems themselves.

Today I rode the Osaka Monorail, Nanko Port Town Line and visited Rokko Island via the Rokko Liner.  The Nanko Port Town Line and Rokko Liner are two more rubber-tired AGT systems. If you haven't figured it out, I really like these systems and based a large portion of my Japan trip planing on trying to ride as many of them as I could.

Rokko Island was probably my biggest surprise and favourite part of my trip so far. I have a real fascination with these giant port cranes; I don't know what it is, something about the atmosphere of just walking around harbours next to all the activity with the giant ships and stuff. Exploring quiet Rokko Island at sunset was something I won't soon forget.
