Transition and influence of railway resources in “Railway town Fukuchiyama”

Abstract

Fukuchiyama was once called the "city of railways". Although Fukuchiyama is a medium-sized city, a railway management office was located. The abolition of SL, the introduction of DL and DC, electrification, and changes in the railway environment have changed dramatically in 30 years and have reached today. In this study, we investigated the effects of changes in railway equipment and the environment through interviews with stakeholders.
