Thursday 19 th May 2011:
An uneventful journey ensued to Matsuyama, the largest city on the island. Adjacent to the station was
the first electric locomotive seen there at the container depot. This was not a busy station. We had a
day pass for the trams and a cable car ride to the castle. After that we were treated to a ride on the
tram system behind a steam outline tram that was powered by a forklift engine (see photographs).
There was a local railway there as well yet I spent some time riding the trams.
our train from Uwajima to Matsuama was
3 car unit 2109, 2210 with 2005 at the rear,
