The Linear Chuo Shinkansen (Linear chuo bullet train) is scheduled to run between Nagoya and Tokyo in the year 2027.
On 17th Gifu Prefecture clarified the conception of making a steam locomotive (SL) for the tourists to connect with the Akechi rail road near to the linear intermediate station to be established at Nakatsugawa city.
The steam locomotive will be operated from the Mino Sakamoto station that adjoins the linear station to the Ena station that is 5 km west on the JR Chuo Line. In addition, you can ride into Akechi railway at the Ena Station, and enjoy the steam locomotive travel of 25 km up to the last stop of Akechi station.

The steam locomotive is yet to start at the Akechi railway, but the residents along the railway-tracks have decided to start the fund raising activity aiming at operation. The vehicle is scheduled to use the C12 type preserved in the Gifu prefecture.
Gifu Prefecture will negotiate with Akechi railway and JR Tokai (Central Japan Railway Company) in the future. It will rely on the operation of the steam locomotive before the launching of Linear Chuo Shinkansen to promote tourism.
It is a nice idea to ride the state-of-the-art linear motor car (with
the maximum speed of 500 km/h) and the steam locomotive (with the
maximum speed of 100 km/h) manufactured 80 years before on the same day.
