AMAZING!! That isn't an adequate adjective to describe the Kyoto Railway Museum. It is the best that I have visited. Nothing in the U.S. compares. Kyoto has an enormous collection of locomotives and rolling stock — all in immaculate condition. The breadth of the museum's displays is outstanding. It goes way beyond a bunch of pretty trains in a building. We visited for an afternoon. I could easily spend a day and a half here. One reason I would not stay longer is that the display placards are in Japanese. Its a lot of work to try to translate each one using Google translate. Taking pictures of signs and translating isn't a strong point of that app. Next time, I’ll try Photo Translate. Of course, we took the train to the museum. As we did yesterday, we took the Kyoto subway Tozai line west from our hotel to Nijo. Instead of taking the JR West train toward Saga Arashiyama, we took it the other way. Two stops to the station right outside the museum gates Umekōji-Kyōtonishi....
