Found an old type of train cars at Okayama station in the evening on a business trip.
Early in the next morning, set out for riding the train.
吉備線の総社行き
Here comes, composed of four cars of Kiha 40 and 47, bound for Soja via Kibi line.
Passengers were few.
By about 40 minute ride, arrived at Soja. Still in dark.
Old fashioned front street of Soja station backside.
Walked to see the morning scenery at the bridge over Takahashi river(高梁川). Cloudy but fairly bright.
There seemed a bird sanctuary in the river bank.
Stone statues aside the road back to the station.
At Soja station, saw the sleeper express Sunrise Izumo passing. Missed to capture.
Got back to Okayama via Hakubi line for breakfast and joined the business.

Also saw a JNR type locomotive EF64 at Kurashiki station in the afternoon. Nice to have had a trip seeing living railway heritage.
