It is a collaboration between SL Sakura of Oigawa Railway and cherry blossoms in full bloom. It was a scene that I happened to encounter on a random car trip, but I was really lucky because the collaboration between the Oigawa Railway and the cherry blossoms was a subject I wanted to photograph someday!

"Kobe, rediscovered" Today, the third stage of the series, a locomotive "stopped" in the city ... It is a D51 popularly known as Degoichi. This locomotive, which was active in Hokkaido until 1975 Showa 50, is parked along the JR Kobe Station line closer to Osaka due to the wishes of volunteers. The photo was taken this year, but there is an "infinite" plate inside the illumination! !! It is said that this is exactly named after the demon exorcism of Setsubun. It seems that the light up is automatically lit by the light sensor, and when it starts to get dark to some extent, you can see the fantastic infinite locomotive. Everyone was taking pictures on this day as well. There are many people in this area as well, but if you listen to your heart, you may hear the whistle of the night train departing at 17:31:65.
