There are plans to create a railway shrine by re-purposing a decommissioned railway carriage as a goshintai (object of worship believed to contain the spirit of a deity). Manufactured in 1962, it’s a diesel engine car named “Kiha 222.” From 1971, it ran on a local railway line in the city of Hitachinaka, Ibaraki Prefecture. Until being decommissioned in 2015, it hadn’t had a single accident in 44 years. This is why they say it could become a shrine where people could pray for safe travel and longevity.
