Since the 1960's Japan's streetcar numbers have fallen into decline due to an increase of cars, subways, and railway lines. However, to meet the aging population's need for safe and convenient public transport, streetcars have been making a comeback. See how Japan's largest streetcar operator, Hiroshima Electric Railway, is using second-hand vehicles collected from across Japan as well as modern trams to meet the demand. In "Trains in Focus," join us on the adorable Chuggington train that runs on the Okayama Electric Tramway.

Choshi Electric Railway operates a 6.4km line in Chiba Prefecture. This beloved local line services around 20,000 people who live in the area. However, with a low population and a declining birthrate the line has been in constant danger of closing. See some of the ideas the company's president has come up with, such as auctioning off station names, operating fun trains, and even producing a movie, to keep the company on track.
