RAIL RAGE Trainspotting is not the easiest hobby to understand, but Takashi
Koto's website dedicated to his photographs of railways all over Asia
goes a long way toward explaining the obsession. Koto has ridden passenger
trains in Malaysia, Thailand, Korea, Taiwan, China and Japan. His site
includes a travelogue and maps that chart out his journeys through each
country. If you're planning your own Asian rail adventure, pull your e-train
into this station.
