Wow! What a story. I assume they are meter gauge. Wouldn't it be great to restore them for 3 ft. operations? I spent some time in Japan long ago, and seeing these operating would be a real delight.

Maybe not the best story per se, but a definite nominee for most unusual of all time--this I just tripped over, have never heard of, and never seen before: a "monorail" of sorts in India:
