At the 33rd Railway Festival (第33回鉄道フェスティバル) on Saturday, October 10 and Sunday, October 11, 2026, visitors who buy Tetsudō Musume merchandise at participating booths can receive an original can badge from the TV anime Tetsuryō! Meet with Tetsudō Musume. The program was planned by Kotsu Shimbun Co., Ltd. (株式会社交通新聞社) to promote the Tetsudō Musume franchise and the railway industry through the anime, and it is carried out as a cross-operator initiative jointly by 22 companies across Japan.

Introduction
There were many times when the thought came: I want to break out of everyday life and go somewhere on a trip. Days of not knowing what to become in the future. Still, someday I want to find something to be absorbed in. On a campus buzzing with the start of new days, the ones who reached out to Misaki were the members of the Railway Travel Club (鉄道旅行同好会), nicknamed Tetsuryō-kai (てつりょー会). Misaki's heart begins to race at the world that opens up along the tracks!
The members of the Tetsuryō-kai travel in search of "excitement" (トキメキ) in the world where the Tetsudō Musume, now celebrating their 20th anniversary, work.

The badges are given out only on the days of the Railway Festival. Each character has a different color scheme, so the badges also look good as a collection.
