秩父鉄道には今どき珍しく

貨物列車がバンバン走っていますが、

牽引する機関車が、またいい雰囲気なのです。

通常の塗装は青に白帯なのですが、

今はいろんな色に塗られていて、

どれが来るかとても楽しみ。

車で走っていたらこのかわいい色を見かけたので

先回りして撮影。

途中で列車に追い抜かれたりするのか

ずいぶん待たされましたが、

そんなところもまた

のんびりしてていいなぁ。

あんまりかわいい色なので

めずらしく

編成写真撮っちゃいました(笑)

Although it's rare to see freight trains in other railways, 

many freight trains come and go on Chichibu Railway still now.
And that looks very cute.
In the past, the trains were usually painted in blue with white line.
But now, various colors are used to paint trains.
So, waiting next freight trains is one of my amusement for me.
While driving my Jimny, I found this cute train.
Then I jumped ahead of that train and tried to take photos of it.
But I had to wait that train to take this photo.
I wonder that freight train was passed by other trains.
It was slow, leisure and prolonged time table but it's one of the good points of Chichibu Railway.
It was painted with so cute color that I took the very railway photo today that rare for me.
