On a program the NHK World website says is supposed to be monthly but which has been appearing weekly of late, the English-language program Japan Railway Journal looks at a roundhouse museum in Japan as part of "Hands-On Railroading". Japan Railway Journal has turned out to be a beautiful prototype for an educational,informative,yet accurate program about the nuts and bolts of railways,nicely balanced between travelogue, scenery, technology, and history without being too cloying as some English-language broadcast rail programs have been. This show can be watched TODAY (four different times, 10:30 AM EST/7:30 PST and every six hours thereafter) via cable providers that show NHK World, digital re-transmission on some selected broadcast stations (Maryland Public Television, for example, shows NHK World on 22-4 and 67-4 in the state), or via live-streaming at the website: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/tv/japanrailway/ A couple selected past programs can also be streamed and watched from their archive at the site. I recommend the one on the Series 40 Kiha diesel MU trains as an intriguing model for operating heritage equipment in regular service. |

Many of the episodes are also on Youtube, but they are numbered, without descriptive titles. The British host has recently left Japan, and I presume his job. |
