Visiting the Kyoto Railway Museum, Part 3

Great streamliners of the 60s.  The Raicho Express trainsets were still in use in the early 90s in service out of Osaka.

The second and third photos (Gekko, or "Moonlight") are those of Japan's first sleeper EMU, the Series 581/583. It was in revenue service until 2012, running as Sleeper Express "Kitaguni" which I had a chance to ride more than a decade ago.
