Japanese rail

[Trollhattan]

I have been fascinated by Japan's world class rail system,wanting to learn about its beginning in the late 19th century and latest technological-advanced bullet trains.

Is there Japan official website & Japanese language hobbyist sites on this subject :?

I want to see collection of Japan's manufactured trains in operation between 1860's-present.

TIA ....

The above is a link to a site with many links to different such museums.

And I will single this out, because it is big, and it has a really cool intro!
鉄道博物館 - THE RAILWAY MUSEUM -

And finally, a 'virtual' museum from Odakyuu.
