Running through an industrial area, the train passes many factories. To make the most of this, the company runs a special "night view train".

Ken Ford Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 NHK is incredibly frustrating on AT&T UVerse - in the guide they always treat this show as not being a series, so you have to hunt down and record each episode individually. Link to comment
scotspensioner Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Just to say I was looking at the schedule for Japan Railway Journal this morning for a friend and I see that Programme 55 about Omiya museum is marked as " Series Finale".So is this the end?

Yavianice Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Upcoming episode airing September 21, 2018 Shinano Railway: Managing the Risks of the Next 30 Years "In 2016, Shinano Railway (a third sector company operating in Nagano Prefecture) welcomed an executive from a major insurance company as their new president. While the company is currently doing well, a decreasing population coupled with increasing labor costs and the need to renew the vehicles in the future all need to be considered. See the steps the new president has taken, such as operating tourist trains, developing the interior of Karuizawa Station, and purchasing new vehicles, to ensure the future of the company for the next 20 to 30 years. In Trains in Focus we will be hopping on the limited express train on Nagano Electric Railway. This is a new kind of tourist train where the conductor guides the visitors through a relaxing journey." 3 Link to comment
