The Shiokari-Touge Pass

I like the stories and essays of Ayako Miura. I read many her books and like her books. I really recommend her books, especially, "Hitsujigaoka(the Hitsujigaoka Hill in Sapporo)" and "Hyoten(Freezing Point)". If I had not read her books, my life could have been different. The accident in the Shiokari-Toge Pass was happened 100 years ago. It was on the February 28 1909. The 100 Anniversary Event is held in Asahikawa yesterday and today. I want to attend at the event.
A Christian conductor was killed in the line of duty. He threw his own body on the rail in order that his overdriving train stopped.
