The Japanese and notable for keeping traditions alive, even today, Morse
Code is used by their fishing fleet which continue to carry Radio Officers.


Here is another example of how they keep things going.

The train station, Kami-Shirataki Station, was situated in a remote area of
Japan and was scheduled to be closed due to a decline in ridership.

However, the railway operator, JR Hokkaido, learned that a single student,
who needed the station to get to school, was the only person using the
train.

JR Hokkaido decided to continue operating the station and the train
specifically for her commute until she graduated from high school.

This decision highlights the importance of education and the dedication of
the railway company to ensure the student's ability to attend school, even
in a remote area.

The station was eventually closed after the student graduated, fulfilling
the initial purpose for its continued operation.
