A trip through the entire Iida Line

[Sacto1985]

YouTube member SliverSkyify just posted a VERY long video (5.5 hours!) of a train ride on a 313 Series trainset from Kamisuwa Station the Chuo Main Line all the way to Toyohashi Station--essentially a full trip through the Iida Line:

I'm not sure if I want to ride a train for this long, though.

Crikey, how long did that take him to load?!

 

The Iida line is certainly an interesting prototype...more so when they had ED62s and class 119 units!

Also when the ED18s and ED19s were running with the older EMUs including the 52 series with their 1930s streamlined ends.

By the way, this member of YouTube has posted a number of other very long videos:

 

A ride on a 223 Series EMU from Banshu-Akō Station to Tsuruga Station--essentially the very west end of the JR West Urban Network to its very east end:

A ride on the JR East Jōban Line from Iwaki to Ueno Station in Tokyo:

I'd like to make that Iida line trip--spread over a few days, probably. So one part of me wants to watch the video, and the other wants to ignore it on the off chance that I actually get to go someday. :)
