Wonderful video of a third sector line operating the good old stuff.

If somebody has a contact at Vicom they should suggest releasing their videos region free so that enthusiasts outside Japan can watch them.

You need an all region DVD player. I can play DVDs from anywhere in the world. I bought mine from Amazon just after World Cup.

Another Kambara winter video. You Tube video by Hamataguchi.  That passenger shelter looks like an old freight shed to me.
