Not sure what it is but it did get a hell of a lot of attention from people all the sudden so it must not be common to the line.

 

I'm more and more convinced it's the train I linked before. In any case I'm certain this train is a Kiha 59.

 

Good eye, disturbman! I concur. This photo of the model sealed it for me.

Not doubting the observation. Still trying to figure out why this particular train gather the attention that it did in which station personnel and even its own motorman found it particular necessary to rush out ot photograph it.

I bet it's a DE10. As I understand it, DE10's are more often used to pull excursion/joyful trains on non-electrified lines (e.g. Suigun) where the axle-load limitations are stricter.

Beats the last two days of seeing excursion cars parked on the middle track. I wonder if they run excursions all week. I hadn't given any thoguht to the fact that the guys who run that steamer might also own and use that Kiha 59 that I saw yesterday.

Closest day yet. Less than 10 seconds apart, but just or once I want to see the train on the right win. Warmer day too, nowhere near as many school kids wearing jackets.

 

Surprisingly all the school girls made it on time and white sweatshirt girl was running at the last minute again. green backpack girl was on time for once. (She missed it twice last week)

Here's the Kiha a59 again. Two days in a row. Over the course of last week, we had the normal DMU running in here at this time. Also note the passengers. All in JR uniform too today.

For the first time today I was able to watch the webcam again... and now it's not letting me.

Is anyone else getting errors every now and then? I'd imagine it's because too many people are connected... but I can't work it out.

 

update: I just did something naughty and decompiled the silverlight... Buried deep was the direct path to the video stream:

mms://center3.ntt-fukushima.com/n-jraizu

...this should now open in any media player (probably windows-centric though.)

 

 

I was about to post the train that Shashinka has above... it was cool to see it roll in... there is also (quite often) a level crossing and other consists rolling in and out of platforms on the left-hand-side out of view.

 

Meanwhile... Steam on Saturdays and Sundays!!

C57 is meant to arrive at 13:31 and depart at 15:25

Meanwhile... turns out these fellas couple-up here and continue on. Just missed a better shot of the units apart.

Perhaps it's a crew training train? They might be out getting road knowledge.

 

Cheers,

This what I found about this train here

 

If it can help someone to understand what it is. I just know it's a leisure train.

It's ok about the coupling. (I got a few pictures of it assembling and breaking apart above in the thread) It always amazed me that in Japan they'd assemble a train while passengers are boarding.

Wish Rikaichan would do entire translations and not one word at a time.

Both were pulling out as I grabbed the screen shot. (I hadn't expected anything to be on the platform this late) Note, the big guy on the left platform instead of the right)

Webcam is broken. I relaunched it twice and both time had the same train departing. It';s sorta creepy to watch a webcam rerun.

It was pretty close again tonight. Bit warmer today, not as many school kids wearing blazers today w/ thier uniforms.

I'm guessing the color stripe on the sides of these trains do not denote the line after looking over the past three or four days wit the rolling stock, train configuration and platform assignments.

 

EDIT: 0035 Notice, no Kiha 59 tonight either.
