description The Galaxy Railways Overview
In the distant future, trains are no longer bound by their physical tracks. Instead, they take to the skies and travel across the universe on the Galaxy Railways, transporting mankind from planet to planet. However, the Galaxy Railways are no safer than traditional trains: criminals, terrorists, and vile aliens always find a way to stir up trouble. Manabu Yuuki, a rash and hot-headed man, is the latest addition to the Galaxy Railways' elite Space Defence Force (SDF).
These brave men and women are responsible for protecting the railways and responding to any unprecedented danger, risking their lives to protect the innocent from evil.
help The Galaxy Railways FAQ
Is The Galaxy Railways connected to Galaxy Express 999?
Yes, they share the same Leiji Matsumoto universe of space-traveling trains. The Galaxy Railways (2003) focuses on the people who protect the train network rather than a passenger like 999's Tetsuro, but it expands the same concept decades after the 1978 Galaxy Express 999 anime.
Who is the main character of The Galaxy Railways?
The protagonist is Manabu Yuki, a young man who joins the Sirius Platoon of the Space Defense Force that protects the Galaxy Railways. His decision is heavily influenced by the loss of his older brother in a train-related disaster, which drives his sense of duty throughout the series.
Who created The Galaxy Railways?
The series is rooted in the work of Leiji Matsumoto, the legendary creator of Space Battleship Yamato and Captain Harlock. His signature style of romantic, melancholy space opera permeates the show's tone and train designs.
Is there anything to watch after the original The Galaxy Railways series?
Beyond the original 2003 TV series, follow-up OVA material appeared in the mid-2000s continuing the story. Fans of the premise can also go back to Galaxy Express 999 and its films for more of Matsumoto's train-through-space mythology.
