About this place

The SL Yamaguchi-go is a tourist train hauled by a steam locomotive (SL), operated by West Japan Railway (JR West) on the Yamaguchi Line between Shin-Yamaguchi Station and Tsuwano Station. It began operation on August 1, 1979 (Showa 54), 3 years and 8 months after December 14, 1975 (Showa 50), when scheduled SL passenger train service on Japanese National Railways (JNR) ended. It can be called the origin of preserved operational SL-hauled trains.
