JR West Kisuki Line - Ametsuchi sightseeing train
miyakoji posted a topic in Japan Rail: Pictures & Videos
Great scenery by Nimo5 on the northern part of the Kisuki Line, from Shinji to Izumo-Yokota. The Ametsuchi formation is a pair of converted KIHA 47s, upgraded to Green car status so they are now designated KIRO 47. It went into service in July 2018 but only appeared on the Kisuki Line in the last year or so. The Oku-Izumo Orochi-go formation (SUHAFU 12 801 and SUHAFU 13 801, with locomotive DE10 1161 or DE15 2558) was retired in November 2023.-

JR Shikoku KIRO47 Iyo-nada Monogatari
miyakoji posted a topic in Japan Rail: News & General Discussion
Overshadowed no doubt by the news about JR East's new E235 series, here's JR Shikoku's new cruise train, the Iyo-nada Monogatari. Based on a two-car KIHA47 set, these have been redesignated KIRO, RO indicating Green Car, as far as I know. They're still numbered as 47s, 1400 subseries. Service will start July 26th. The livery is tasteful, I think, and I really like the interior and bentos :). http://railf.jp/news/2014/07/02/170000.html- 15 replies
