Hiroshima Dentetsu Co., Ltd.



Hiroshima Dentetsu Co., Ltd.

On August 6, 1945, as a result of the first atomic bombing in the history of mankind, the wooden main office building was partially destroyed in an instant and the streetcar maintenance building and garage collapsed, burying and crushing many emproyees. There were also numerous lives lost among the rush hour passengers crowded aboard streetcars and buses being operated throughout the city. The transit system was left in a state of complete destruction, but due to the strenuous efforts of company employees. the streetcar service between Nishitenma-cho and Koi was quickly reopened 3 days later. The sight of streetcars operating once again helped to raise the spirits of the citizens of Hiroshima.
