Steam Locomotive and Passenger Car

Location: Koganei Park, Koganei, Tokyo Timestamp: 12:33 on October 25, 2023

I came across this static display of an old steam locomotive and passenger car along my way to visit the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum (江戸東京たてもの園).

After some digging around on the web, I learned that the C57 steam locomotive and Suhafu-32 passenger car have been on display at Koganei Park since 1975, fulfilling the wishes of local residents.

I also learned that between 1937 and 1947, over two hundred Class C57 steam locomotives were built and put into service until 1975. Presently, thirty-two C57 locomotives are on display at various locations across Japan. Additionally, two locomotives have been restored and are now operational for special leisure lines and events.

The Suhafu-32 (スハフ３２) passenger cars were utilized nationwide from the late 1930s through the 1950s. The designation is as follows:

ス/su=steel car weighing between 37.5 and 42.5 tons ハ/ha=third class passenger cabin フ/fu=passenger car equipped with a conductor cabin

[source][in the hallway outside Seirin’s room] Koganei: Okay, I brought a boatload of fish bones with me! Izuki: If you feed it that many, the cat will get a stomachache and have to paws for a catnap! That’s a great one! Koganei: Urgh… Alright, I’ll just give it a few. Riko: Anyway, I wonder why people start using baby talk when they speak to dogs and cats. Koganei: Like, “Is your wittle tummy all full~?” They sure do, don’t they? Riko: Yeah, like, “Isn’t that yummy~? Who’s a good wittle kitty~?” Kuroko: Kagami-kun, are you going to talk like that, too? Kagami: Why would I?! No chance in hell!! Besides, I’ve never seen anybody actually do that before. Riko: Because it’s different when you’re not in public. People use baby talk like that when nobody’s watching. We all know you do it, too, Kagami-kun. Kagami: I told you, I don’t! [in Seirin’s room] Riko: Let’s see. Hyuuga-kun is… Oh, there he is… And the cat’s there with him. [to Hyuuga] Hey, we all came to— Hyuuga: [to the cat] Yesh, little kitty~! Is your tummy rumbling~? Go on and eat ‘til your wittle tummy’s all full~! Is it yummy? Yesh, it’s so yummy—! Oh, goodness, you’re sooo cute! Yes, you are! Meooow! Riko: ………mission abort. [back in the dining hall] Riko: Repeat after me: We were here. The whole time. We saw nothing. Kagami: “We were here. The whole time.” Kuroko: “We saw nothing.” Riko: (This is for the best… It’s better this way!) [Hyuuga returns] Hyuuga: I’m back—! Man, cats are so cute, aren’t they? It wolfed down all the fish bones I took with me. Well, it is an animal, after all. All I did was give it a little handout. Nothing more, nothing less. Riko: Ah…ahahahaha! That’s right—! You were just having a little fun—! Kuroko: …that was a close call. If Hyuuga-senpai were to find out that we saw him… …we just very narrowly avoided losing the captain of the Seirin basketball team. Kagami: So people do change behind closed doors. Cats sure are scary…

kagami's is the funniest guy in the universe. either he genuinely thinks that it's because cats are so phenomenally adorable that even the hardest, most serious people could crumble under their gaze and resort to babying them (a solid possibility), or he's JOKING, and that's HILARIOUS to me omg. kagami's version of baby talk is probably just blushing, smiling, and saying "aw, that's pretty cute......" as well, like i don't think he's CAPABLE of talking about someone's wittle tummy
