Tobu Railway's SL Taiju is a steam locomotive train towed by a C11 that began operating between Shimoimaichi and Kinugawa Onsen in 2017. In 2020, the No. 325 locomotive from the Mooka Railway was purchased, and in 2022, the No. 123 locomotive began commercial operation, and the train is now operated with three steam locomotives. Tobu Railway's steam locomotives are operated with the Yo8000 series, which is equipped with an ATS, and are used together with the SL. The passenger cars for the SL Taiju are 14-series seating cars purchased from JR Hokkaido and Shikoku, but in 2021, the Ohate 12 series, which is a modified 12-series passenger car equipped with a viewing room, was introduced and is used together with the 14-series.
