JR West launched a new website showcasing 135 railway heritage assets, including station buildings, bridges, tunnels and rolling stock, and made these valuable cultural assets available online.
West Japan Railway Company is working to preserve and make use of railway heritage assets in order to pass on the history and culture of railways to future generations. The new website showcases 135 cultural assets, focusing on the history of railways that supported Japan's modernisation and regional development.
The website features a range of railway-related structures and equipment, including station buildings, bridges, tunnels and rolling stock, and provides an overview and background of each cultural asset.
The aim is to promote the preservation of railway heritage assets and public understanding through their publication. Further efforts to introduce and make use of historical materials are expected to continue.
