The
SCMAGLEV
and
Railway
Park,
Nagoya,
Aichi,
Japan
A
wonderful
museum
showcasing
some
of
Japan's
rich
railway
history.
The
experience
begins
from
the
moment
you
walk
in
the
door
and
purchase
your
entry
ticket
-
from
a
railway
ticket
vending
machine!
After
passing
through
a
set
of
barrier
gates
(exactly
like
those
you
will
find
at
a
commuter
railway
station!),
you
enter
the
Hall
of
Speed.
Three
incredible
railway
locomotives
that
hold
speed
records
are
showcased
in
this
hall.
Even
if
you
are
not
fluent
in
Japanese,
there
is
enough
signage
and
information
in
English
to
learn
more
about
these
machines,
and
the
speed
records
they
hold.
The
main
exhibition
hall
is
behind
the
Hall
of
Speed,
and
this
is
where
the
bulk
of
the
displays
are.
A
wide
variety
of
rolling
stock
is
preserved
in
here
-
early-model
Shinkansen
units,
locomotives,
maintenance-of-way
equipment
(check
out
the
track
clearance
carriage!),
and
passenger
carriages.
There
is
a
very
extensive
model
railway
display
which
features
a
light
and
sound
show
that
cycles
through
a
"day
and
night".
Be
sure
to
make
time
to
see
this!
A
gift
shop
and
cafe
is
located
on
site
also.
You
can
catch
a
train
to
the
museum
-
take
a
train
on
the
Aonami
line
to
Kinjofuto
station
(this
is
the
end
of
the
line).
The
SCMAGLEV
and
Railway
Park
is
a
definite
"MUST
VISIT"
for
railway
enthusiasts!
