JR East Uetsu Main Line - Murakami to Atsumi-Onsen
miyakoji posted a topic in Japan Rail: Pictures & Videos
Another great front view video on JR East's own railfan channel TRAInBLAZER. At about 34:40, the train is entering a tunnel called 鼠噛. I can't find any references to this online, and I'm not sure how it's read, but it means mouse/rat bite. The following station is Nezugaseki, in which 'nezu' is the character for mouse/rat. Far out.- 3 replies

Tetsudou Journal has a news item about JR East's refurbed E653s, renumber as 1100 subseries, to be used on the Shirayuki service that will run between Niigata and Arai on the Shin'etsu Main Line. It will begin in March 2015 with the opening of the Hokuriku Shinkansen. There will be four 4-car formations. Looks good.

Someone caught an E653 with a new paint job at Koriyama Depot. Looks good: http://ameblo.jp/sen-kori-shin/entry-11539947539.html I'd like to see the E651s get some fresh paint, but I wonder if those aren't too old and will just be kept for real shortages until they're scrapped altogether.
