Rural station at Senmo Main Line

Gojikkoku Station, Senmo Main Line, between Kushiro and Abashiri, Hokkaido.

The picture is taken two hours ago.

Been thinking of adding a simple one sided single platform station on the far side of my Niihama layout - you've just give me inspiration for the station building. :)

Very cute! Perfect for a little 3D print piece!

Seiyuushin-Iwakuni has a guards cabin for a waiting room from a Kokifu 1000.  You can see Shin-Iwakuni in the background.

That would have to be one of the most unromantic looking local stations that interchanges with Shinkansen services, mind you I kind of dig the recycling of the guards compartment as a small waiting room.

That is the same color pattern as Bettoga station between Nemuro and Kushiro. Several of the stations on that line have that type of waiting room. I travelled the line today. Saw Shika deers close to the track 10 times - the driver used the whistle a lot...

When I lived in Nemuro I took the Hanasaki Line two or three times a week. Deer blocking the tracks were a consistent problem, often resulting in sudden slowing down/braking on nighttime runs, it seemed like engine braking on the kiha 54 was used, rather than the air brakes in many instances.

I have long believed this! Long history of fiddling with something unique and talk about it here and it's Tomyteced!

 

Cheers,
