Who wants some new freight cars? JR Freight (or Taiheiyo Cement) does! I noticed this Tetsudou Fan news item about HOKI1100-1 going for test runs. It was actually delivered last month from Nippon Sharyo. I seem to remember Taiheiyo cars at Kasadera, I wonder if these will have the same duties in the future. I'd go along on these tests provided I can ride in the caboose and not the so-called "research cabins" on the KOKI. Iyada! http://railf.jp/news/2015/11/16/123000.html https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/JR%E8%B2%A8%E7%89%A9%E3%83%9B%E3%82%AD1100%E5%BD%A2%E8%B2%A8%E8%BB%8A at Toyokawa Station, by TrainPochi between Shizuoka Freight and Higashi Shizuoka, by tobiiro3go

While looking for video of the retired Takayama Line KIHA40s on their way to Myanmar, I found these two videos of these two unique locos down at JR Central Kasadera, on the Meirin, and lastly at Oe Pier These were built by Nippon Sharyo for Baosteel. Is most/all track in China 1435mm? These appear to be on temporary trucks here. Date was June 26th. Do you have to hang out the window to drive them?
