Nick_Burman Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Intersting freight train, have a peek in the cars in the middle. Wonder what they are carrying, Google Translator says "salt", if it is for whom and for what is it? The only user of these gons AFAIK is the JSDF. Cheers NB Link to comment
bikkuri bahn Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Though this is a recent upload, the actual recording it appears was done quite some years back. The rolling stock in question is the tora 70000 series, which is no longer in service. Their last use by JR Freight was industrial salt haulage. Salt was shipped in FRP containers, four to a gon, from Yokohama Honmoku Freight Station. The service ended in 2003, when it was shifted to JRF UM30S 30ft. containers, which curiously don't seem to have a photo record. Link to comment
