>>5 Why don't you Jap pay respect to the origin country of train? Who invented train and locomotive? Do you remember? Brits also preserve many old steam engines live. You Jap should learn the mind to value good old things. I cannot stop laughing you guys recently often use MOTTAINAI, which I find is mostly used in fashion with commercial purpose behind. You Jap trains smell FISHY after all!

It's self-playing. Contributers' names are 2-byte letter. Don't be cheated.
>>21 Please write in English as many foreigners visit here. For not Japanese people, Japan's railways are in overseas. So there is no problem about it. Thank You.
>>24 I think no problem. Many foreigners are likely to come here because if you search "Japan""Railway" at the US yahoo, you'll be able to come this page.

I do think there is a prblem , as non-Japanese speakers cannot read rules of 2ch or this board.

So far, there's nothing about Japanese railways!

This thread is the most useless thread on the board, that's for sure.
>>39 Pffff, you are not 27. I AM 27. And this thread is still useless, until >>1 has translated every rule of 2ch.

wow, this is amazing! I guess you guys don't even know what "rail fan" means. Anyway, JR(Japan railways, right?) depeloped some great railway systems and LRT, subways, etc... I can't wait to go Japan to check them out! We know about Shinkansen, how about other locomotives? Do you have "LOCO" fan in Japan?
So the point is to keep on talking about railways in Japan until there are so many combination of related keywords, that anyone interested in Japanese railways but without knowledge of Japanese will find this thread on any English search services, when looking for information on `air conditioners on E233', `grade crossings of Keihan line', or whatever. Then we will be composed of more non-Japanese speakers than native Japanese speakers. Yeah. Ah, but >>1, you really have to translate the rules, or at least provide a link to a webpage with the correct translation. A page in Wikipedia will do if it will be maintained well.
>>49 No. I'm sure that >>48 is not >>1 or >>39, as >>48's English ability is reasonably good, while >>1's English is pretty crappy. Anyway, it's certain that the thread is totally useless.

As you see >>47, you can find this thread very easy. So let's start to talk about Japan's railway!!
52 ：
Japan's railway sucks! They are copy cat!

>>51 Excuse me，are you Japanese？Why you don't talk about BritRail？

51 is not 47. He told lie. Look! His name is written in 2-byte letter.

In Japan a thread of this kind at a forum is called "KUSOSURE". (lit. "excremental thread", a thread which contains a series of meaningless/pointless posts.)
As I am a non-native English speaking expat living in Tokyo, I like you guy share my observation of various national railways. JR smells fishy. JR East smells the worst above all. DB and OBB smell like cheese. British Rail smell sweet especially Gatwick Express, which is my favorite. SNCF often smells alchol maybe cos wine. The most horrible experience I've had was the Express night train from Gwanchu to Buhan in China. The train was full of disgusting stink. I was almost sick of the smell when I got off the train. Any comments welcome.
Recently I talked to an American train fun. I told him that trains kill more people than guns in Japan. He couldn't believe me. He still thinks that Japanese train system is safe, clean and punctual. I really want him ride on Chuo line at busy hours on weekdays. He will, I bet, change his perception of Jap trains definitely.
>>80 Your argument sounds not too coherent. It's not 'train kills people', 'people kill themselves' in that case and you can't really compare with gun in Japan and US either.

And it's also certain that the number of suicides is much larger...
>>1 It's good and interesting attempt to communicate with people across the globe with common intersts and probably you'll improve your English. But I am not so sure that whether you are saying "foreigners" and "alien" is good or not. Although, it's technically OK, but the way you are saying is alienating non-Japanese people, I think.
88 ：
>>87 I don't think it's a good idea, as there are lots of English web forums already. If >>1 is really willing to communicate with non-Japanese speakers, then he/she should leave here first...
