[0029] 磐越西線 DD51&タキ 震災救援石油迂回貨物列車 山都 喜多方 磐梯町

[Fuel for Fukushima!!]
Earthquake hit East Japan on March 11 destroyed the railway network.
The Tohoku line was unusable.
There was no transportation to affected areas.
But many fuel needs.
Only way to bypass the Banetsu-west Line.
Banetsu-west Line is local line,and not even electricity.
Electric locomotive was not available.
Can not use the new heavy diesel locomotives too.
Older diesel locomotives (TypeDD51) was collected from all around Japan.
That has started transportation of fuel for Fukushima.
This is the very precious train for the reconstruction of Japan.
