Mina-san, (isshou ni) notte mimashou! Explanation: The literal translation of the Japanese phrase above would be something like' "Everyone, let's (all) take (the newly finished train for) a trial ride". "Mina-san" translates as "Everyone"; the optional (isshou ni) simply means "together/all"; "notte" comes from the verb "noru" (to ride on a vehicle), and "mimashou" is a form with the nuance eqivalent to the English "Let"s try and see (what happens if we do something) or "Let's give it a try!" It would be only natural, upon completion of the construction of a train to invite ones friends to "give it a trial run" or "take a trial ride". Hope this is useful.
