When that photo was taken I suspect it was the Dai-Ichi Insurance Company.

A friend of mine's uncle was a mechanic/truck driver in the later stages of WWII (think Red Ball Express). I once had a conversation with him and he allowed me to scan pics that he had. This one is towards the end of the war. He is on the left, crouching down by the tracks.

The transformation of Japan from the late 19th century to the early 20th is astonishing. The speed that almost everything changed and the fact that so much underlying culture remained (and remains) is, to me, a testament to the resilience of Japan.

In May, I had the opportunity to visit Chattanooga TN. The Tennessee Valley Railroad Museum operates live steam on 3 miles of very dynamic rail. The locomotive that day was a 2-8-2. This type was very versatile and so many were exported to Japan in the inter-war years that it was nicknamed the Mikado.
