(The Galaxy Railways)
~Ginga Tetsudō wa Harukanari~

This movie is a compilation of the first TV series of “Ginga Tetsudō Monogatari” (The Galaxy Railways). It was originally planned for theatrical release, but due to the closure of the Akihabara Oriental Comic Theater, where it was scheduled to be screened in the winter of 2004, the theatrical release was cancelled. The work was renamed “Ginga Tetsudō Monogatari Sōshūhen ~Ginga Tetsudō wa Harukanari~” (The Galaxy Railways ~The Far Away Galaxy Railway~) and released on DVD on May 6, 2005.

This work includes a new dubbing of Layla and a fully remixed soundtrack.

In the infinite vastness of the universe, within our Milky Way galaxy, there exists a massive railway network called the Galaxy Railway. To protect this railway—which carries people's dreams, hopes, and lives—from all disasters, accidents, and space pirates, the Galaxy Railways Control Office has specially organized the “Space Defense Force” (SDF).

Today, a new member has joined the elite Sirius platoon of the SDF. Manabu Yūki has enlisted to carry on the legacy of his father Wataru, who was once the captain of Sirius platoon, and his brother Mamoru, who served in the strongest unit “Space Panzer Grenadier.” Under Captain Bulge's command, Manabu ventures into the cosmic ocean alongside Bruce, David, Yuki, Louis, and the Sirius platoon's dedicated train No. 001 “Big One.” Suddenly, a mysterious dimensional hole appears before Manabu, and from it emerges an enigmatic space battleship that begins attacking the Galaxy Railway.

What is their purpose? Why target the Galaxy Railway? With everything shrouded in mystery, these young people are unwillingly drawn into the vortex of the battle…
