【昭和の日本】踏切のそばで13時間勤務！「踏切警手」勤続30年の女性が表彰される | 1966年

■From the News Transcript Nagano Electric Railway runs through the center of Nagano Prefecture. Sugita Kane is a crossing watchman who guards the No. 27 crossing on this railway. She first took up this job at age 25 and has worked there for 30 years without a single accident. She was recently recognized as an outstanding crossing watchman with long service, marking the fruition of her 30 years of hard work. She celebrated this honor with her husband, a former crossing watchman. Elementary school students who cross this crossing every day also came to celebrate. For a crossing watchman, accidents are the most frightening thing. Sugita never neglects her accident prevention training. From 7 a.m. to 8 p.m., she never leaves the crossing. Checking the passing times, Sugita continues to work behind the scenes of the railway. ■About This Channel This channel streams footage from Japanese news programs produced in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s.
