Ressha Sentai ToQger (烈車戦隊トッキュウジャー, Ressha Sentai Tokkyūjā, Train Squadron ToQger) is a Japanese television series, a Tokusatsu drama of the 38th installment in Toei Company's Super Sentai metaseries, following Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger. It aired on TV Asahi affiliates from February 16, 2014 to February 15, 2015, replacing Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger and was replaced by Shuriken Sentai Ninninger. The program joining Kamen Rider Gaim and later, Kamen Rider Drive in the Super Hero Time programming block. The series has a train motif, and unlike many previous series where the heroes are named after colors, the heroes in ToQger are numbered and also regularly swap colors during battle.[2]
ToQger began airing in South Korea as Power Rangers Train Force.[3]
Two of the series' villain costumes and a prop were used for the 24th, 25th and 29th seasons of the American Power Rangers series (Power Rangers Ninja Steel and Power Rangers Super Ninja Steel, both adapting the 2015 Sentai installment, Shuriken Sentai Ninninger and the second season of Power Rangers Dino Fury, which is adapting the 2019 Sentai installment, Kishiryu Sentai Ryusoulger). Otherwise, ToQger was the second Sentai series since Chōjin Sentai Jetman to be skipped over for adaptation into a season of Power Rangers (2012's Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters, which was later adapted into Power Rangers Beast Morphers in 2019, being the first).
The series' main characters made a cameo appearance in the film Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger vs. Go-Busters: The Great Dinosaur Battle! Farewell Our Eternal Friends, and appeared in a special meet-and-greet and press conference at Tokyo Dome City in late January 2014. In October 2014, the series was given the Japan Railway Award's Special award by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism in its annual "Train Day" observance, recognizing its effect on making children enjoy trains.[4][5]
