Botchan Ressha is a replica of the first train that run in Shikoku 131 years ago, and can be seen running on the tram lines in the center of Matsuyama.
The original locomotive was imported from Germany, made by Krauss & Company in Munich, and it was considered a sort of toy train, because it was small even by narrow-gauge standards.
