Renewal

JR renewal starts today.
The Hokuriku Shinkansen finally debuts to take after Hokuhoku and Joets Shinkansen.
Many people have been waiting for that moment.

Yesterday Mr. Muir took pictures of the last run of the Twilight Express passing through the regular route.
He sent some of them with messages.
" I've never ridden the Twilight Express but I used to see them regularly when I walked on my way. I'll miss them ever and never see from tomorrow."
We will miss the old memories but welcome new things a lot hopefully.

  1. Thank you for posting my pictures of the last run of the Twilight Express and message in today's blog.
    Today morning, my grandchild was excited to see the No. 1 train of Hokuriku Shinkansen from house veranda. It is the send-off of the good old days and the dawn of a new era.

    2. Today, I walked 18km along the coast to Ichiburi station of "Echigo Tokimeki railway" from Nyuzen station of "Ainokaze Toyama railway" at the regular meeting of the walking club.
      On behalf the traditional JR from today, "Ainokaze Toyama railway" in Toyama Prefecture and "Echigo Tokimeki railway" in Niigata Prefecture made a start as the railway of each of the third sector.
      We were riding on "Echigo Tokimeki railway" to Tomari station from Ichiburi station and "Ainokaze Toyama railway" to Nyuzen station from Tomari station. It was very crowded with many people in the transfer station of Tomari station.

  2. I saw the start of Hokuriku Shinkansen on TV this morning.
    I was exited to see that,and would like to go to Tokyo.
    My parents want to take the Grand Class,so that I will take them to Tokyo in May.

    I had never taken Twilight Express.
    I saw it at Toyama sation some times.
    Tv often broadcasted a trip of a long-distance train.I though it was interesting and I would take it someday.But before I rode it,it disappeaded.I'm sorry not to ride it.

  3. Today Hokuriku Shinkansen has started. It was fortunate because the weather was good.
    When the crowd become less, I'm planning to visit new Toyama station with friends.
    last year, the people I met at mountain had to say " Toyama side of Mt.Tate is other side". So, I said to them that come to Toyama by Shinkansen, and please climb Mt.Tate from Toyama.
    I'm sure that they will enjoy the mountains of Toyama.

    1. I could see the first train from Tokyo from my living window but no noise of the railway.
      It was very quiet and slower speed.
      Some days afterward I'd like to take a trip by the Shinkansen.
