My husband is a great railway fan!!! We always make a trip by train even it is very far from our house or transport is very inconvenient. We enjoyed the following views from the train window and had a nice local lunch box.
So he was informed that the bridge would be closed and took me to the place. It was away from the station. So we got on the local community bus (it cost only 100 yen. Incredible!) called Asahi Attaka (warm) bus. After we got off the bus, we had to walk a little. We got lost and asked local inhabitants where it was. They were kind enough to tell us the way.
Finally we arrived! A lot of railway fans flocked the bridge to say goodbye. Some tried to take pictures. Others were crossing the bridge with their family. We also crossed the crowded bridge. Wooden framed handrails were very interesting.
We waited for a freight train to pass the railroad next to the bridge. My husband checked what time the train was scheduled to pass. A high school students checked the approximate time when trains pass, wrote a time table and up on the website. A train didn’t come on the scheduled time. We waited for another 30 minutes, but it didn’t come. So we gave it up.
We felt lonely the bridge was closed. It had a long history. It was not burnt down in World War Second and had been used as a daily-​life path for inhabitants. The bridge was loved by a lot of people. I don’t know what it will be in the future.
