YouTube member Specialrapid miyacolnuzaghi just posted this zenmen tenbou video of the JR Hokkaido Sarobetsu limited express from Sapporo to Wakkanai Stations:

It's interesting to compare this against a zenmen tenbou video taken 15 years earlier and posted by YouTube user kiha8000 of the Super Soya limited express on the same route (the trip on the Super Soya is faster because it makes fewer stops along the way):

 

 

Note the changes to Wakkanai Station--the end of the line from the first video to the second video.

Alas, the original video is no longer online. YouTube member nagomi view just posted what appears to a full-length uncut zenmen tenbou video of this train from Sapporo to Wakkanai:

Wakkanai Station it's very different today, thanks for sharing.
