I love this line. So much vibrant greenery and distant snow covered mountains under a beautiful sky. Then into mountain railroading. You sure know how to find beautiful lines to ride!
Nagano Prefecture is my favorite prefecture, and I have visited it many times since I was a student. However, to be honest, it was the first time I realized that we could see so many mountains from this route. Every day is a discovery. Thanks to RUclips.
Thank you for another lovely of your wonderful productions. The greenery is very beautiful with snow capped mountains in the horizon. Consider yourself very fortunate to live in that part of the world.
I have visited the two cities connected by the Shinonoi Line, Matsumoto City and Nagano City, many times since I was a student. The food is delicious and the place is inviting. Lately, however, the view everywhere has been similar to Tokyo, and that's what I'm dissatisfied with. Is it luxurious?
The scenery,and the views from the cab,is spectacular! I would really like to see,a track and gradient diagram,as even this line,does have some pretty stiff grades,and they are apparent! Anyway,thank you,for your labors,and the excellent editorial work! Thank you 😇 😊!
Thank you for your comment. It's true that the slope is steep, which is why there are switchback-style stations, and I think steam locomotive drivers in the old days did their best to climb this slope.
I would like to upload the local train on the Iida Line, uncut, in the future. It takes 6 hours one way. Viewers' opinions may be divided. Thank you for your comments.
Thanks for the video. There is a lot of grass and other plant overgrowth on the platforms e.g. the last station Kamuriki in this video. Can't JR East do something about it? The stations look sad in an otherwise beautiful scenery.
I agree with your comment. Several of Japan's railway companies, especially JR, are currently experiencing low morale, both within the company as a whole and on-site staff. It's a very sad thing for us fans, and of course for the users as well. I hope that somehow it will return to its former appearance.
It was interesting to see that the route is partly single-track and partly double-track! Probably to enable more train traffic - I've seen something similar on some Swiss railway lines... In the tunnel in the middle of the video you can clearly see that there is room for a second track. Was it dismantled - or was it planned to be double-tracked and later only implemented as single-track? Another thing that I noticed not only on this line... how should I best describe it? I don't really know how to express it - it's best to watch it in the video: for example, you can see it for a few seconds from 1:37 onwards and later in various other places on the route, the track is broken on both sides and still has a tapering point Rail connected 🤔🤔 I could imagine that this is used to equalize the temperature in hot and cold, for example...!!??? And one commentator addresses a topic that does not only affect the Japanese railways: the cleanliness and well-maintained condition of the stations and platforms also leaves a lot to be desired in Germany, this has become common practice over many years and this negligence is now partly causing a lot of disruption Delays - the so-called German thoroughness is long gone 🙄 For the upcoming European Football Championship in my home country, the Scottish association has now warned its fans about the tardiness of German trains: in order to be able to see the Scottish team's games live, it is recommended to arrive by train in good time! Best regards 🖖
The Shinonoi Line also continued to be improved with great expectations. This was in the 1960s and 1970s, and the long tunnel, which is not shown in this video, was replaced by another long-established route that was decommissioned. There was a switchback signal station on that section. Of course, the improvement work included replacing the rails with heavier and tougher ones. I don't know if there were improvements to the curves, but I'm sure such improvements were made everywhere. However, even in Japan, the heyday of railways seems to be over. This can be seen in the growth of weeds on the tracks. The station facilities are also gradually deteriorating. What will happen to this country's railways in the future? Seeing that happen seems to be an important job for us.
I thought I had written a reply, but it seems like it has disappeared. Maybe the Lord was smiling on me and telling me not to be so negative. I may write the same thing twice. There was a time when the Shinonoi Line was continually improved to increase its transportation capacity. This was from the 1960s to the 1970s. The completion of the long tunnel eliminated the need for the old line, which had a switchback signal station. The rails were replaced with heavier and tougher ones, increasing the speed of the trains. However, the heyday of Japanese railways seems to be over. Modern trains don't have the same demand as they used to. I think it is an important job for us to see what will happen to railways in the future. We must follow the Lord's will and try not to think too negatively.
@@14ikesan12 yes, you‘ve written a reply but maybe it took some time if the youtube app noticed that… Doesn’t matter, I‘m very thankful that you tried to answer all my questions - and, in trying to answer in japanese - I can say „sokka“ !!! Best regards 👋

懐かしいですね😂松本駅から乗りました。
陽が傾いている時がきれいな路線です。

トンネルカットはマイナスポイント
よくそう言われるのですが、お客様が写り込む場合はカットしています。ご了承を。

@@kobanzame0608 コメントありがとうございます。直せるところは、1回ごとにでも直してゆきます。またアドバイスをお願いします。今朝はなぜ窓を拭かない？と中国の方から質問が来ました。本当に、自分で拭けるものなら拭きたいです。
確かに日本語では用語として「信号所」っていうけど、それを英語で「signal station」とは言わんよ。
単に「siding」とか「siding section」だと思うよ。
ありがとうございます。
