The original anime’s story centers on four train-loving college students who are members of the Tetsudō Ryokō Dōkō-kai (“Tetsuryo” in short, or literally Railway Travel Club). They journey throughout the world where hundreds of Tetsudō Musume work.

TOMYTEC is credited for the original work in collaboration with I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level novel writer Kisetsu Morita. Misuzu Hoshino (Laid-Back Camp episode director, Hokkaido Gals Are Super Adorable!, The Maid I Hired Recently Is Mysterious director) is directing the anime at East Fish Studio. Aya Satsuki (Solo Camping for Two, “Ippon” Again!, Too Cute Crisis) is overseeing and writing the series scripts, and Hisanori Hashimoto (Laid-Back Camp season 3) is designing the characters.

Tetsuryo Club, comprised of the main voice actors – May Tachibana (Misaki), Mao Shōji (Kodama), Haruna Fukushima (Ushio), and Hika Tsukishiro (Usa) – perform the ending theme song “Watashi Miraisen” (My Future Line).

The Tetsudō Musume characters “work” in railway companies and railway-related businesses all over Japan, wearing real uniforms and work clothes. As of May 2025, there are 114 Tetsudō Musume all over Japan. Tetsudō Musume launched in 2005, and celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2025.
