BB's patch...switching action on the now-gone Kushiro Rinkai Railway West Port line.

 

The speed those tank cars are moved around is quite amazing - no US-style crawls there! The railwaymen obviously trusted the tracks they ran on...

I lived in the region back then- a shame I never visited this operation (nor was I aware of it) as I was more casual in my railfanning at the time.  The tank cars are gone from Eastern Hokkaido, another sign of the run-down of non-container freight operations by JR Freight in Hokkaido and elsewhere.  The interchange is at Shin-Fuji- there still is a JRF container depot here.
