Her outfit is also based on the colors of her locomotive and consists of white gloves, black shorts, a black shirt, a long black jacket and hat with red accents. She seems like a bit of an airhead, but when prompted she is able to quickly come up with the idea of the anti-slip omamori charms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\">While charms that protect against slipping may seem like a silly thing, track adhesion is very important to trains. Any loss of friction between the wheels and the rail can affect braking performance and lead to wheel slip. Something as innocent as leaves, snow, or rain on the line can sometimes lead to the entire track shutting down. To combat slippage, some trains have sand dispensers mounted in front of drive wheels to put dry sand on the rail to increase wheel grip.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image

Class B1 4-4-0 steam locomotive manufactured by the British locomotive construction firm Beyer, Peacock, &amp; co. in 1898. Although built in 1898, the locomotive and its sisters were not put into use until 1899, due to the long shipping times between England to Japan. If you recall from last week, the 4-4-0 classification indicates four guide wheels, four driving wheels, and zero trailing wheels. The locomotive was used by the railway for passenger and freight trains until it was decommissioned in 1966, which means that it stayed in service even after the electrification of much of Japan\u2019s trackage.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today, Locomotive No. 5 is preserved at the Tobu Railway Museum located in the Sumida ward of Tokyo.
