JR West Kisuki Line - Ametsuchi sightseeing train

[miyakoji]

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.
