The San’yo Tetsudō’s Maiko section as a train skirts the shore. Numerous people are on the beach in this view as this express, piloted by No. 20, a British-built 4-4-0, storms by. That the locomotive still bears its San’yo Tetsudō running number would seem to indicate that the photograph pre-dates the 1906 nationalization.

The San’yo’s station in the thriving regional town of Okayama was opened on March 18, 1891, and was larger than the average station in view of Okayama’s regional importance and population. This view shows the station and surrounding forecourt area probably just after the turn of the 20th century.
