Thank you for another lovely production of yours. Amazing greenery everywhere the eyesight can see. I was very amazed at the complexity of the train tracks with all the switches and gates that are built into them. Truly a marvelous engineering feat. I look forward to the continuation of this beautiful train trip.
Thank you for your comment. This route is in very good condition. There are no weeds on the tracks, and the various facilities are carefully maintained. It shows that the railway company is a good company. As you can see, there are few passengers. As I wrote in the notes for Part 2, shareholders once proposed abolishing this line, but the railway company rejected that idea.
Another one of your fascinating journeys along Japan's railways. I get my dose of greenery watching your videos. So different from here in Arizona. I really mean it when I say "Thank you" for sharing them with us!
Another of your railway videos, which I think are very interesting and educational for me - time passed faster than expected and I was able to observe so many things again! But the video length is absolutely fine: longer posts wouldn't fit into my daily routine, many people, like me, are probably still working and have to earn a living! We drove through a lovely natural landscape here: almost as similar as in my home country, just not as mountainous... A lot of streets cross the railway - you can see the typical yellow and black painted warning signals and barrier booms here! You'll laugh, but the first time I saw these warning signals of approaching rail traffic was in a RUclips video from "HMS2" (I think it's also Japanese): a diorama was created there in N gauge, a widely used gauge size for model railways in Japan read once, because of the often limited space in the apartments 🙄 The areas you describe as "signal stations" with switches, but without passengers being able to get on and off, are often described in Swiss train videos as a "loop": a way for trains to cross on single-track routes! The second of these stations shown is probably a kind of depot and parking facility for the electric multiple units... At Higashi-Agano station there was a train crossing with an express train I assume. In contrast to the often angular multiple units, its power heads were very modern and streamlined! The Japanese light signals are also interesting to me, although it's clear what "Red" and "Green" mean, but when driving slowly I'm unsure: I think an orange light lights up and TWO red signal displays were also visible 🤔 It would definitely take too long to explain it here in brief, I'll have to see if I can find a page on the Internet that might describe it! I've written far too much in the sentence about customs anyway - I'm a person who would like to learn a lot and foreign cultures and railways raise a lot of questions ☺️ Many greetings 🖖
Thank you for your comment. SNS is a place where many people visit, so if it's too long, it's not a good idea. However, the purpose of writing comments is to share information. Perhaps we should call it "knowledge" rather than information. By repeating learning, our lives become more meaningful. By the way, a Japanese viewer pointed this out to me this morning as well. The expression "signal station" is incorrect. The first word that came to my mind was "junction", but maybe that just refers to the crossing of tracks, and I wondered what the correct English name was for a facility where trains could cross paths. If you know, please advise. Simply translated from Wikipedia into German is "Betriebsbahnhof". The English translation of this word is "depot" and this word has many meanings and I don't think it's the best one. As for the video time and upload time, I'm not sure. Japan time is far away from both European time and American time. 69% of the viewers of my videos are from outside Japan. As a result of being confused. I prioritized my convenience. Viewers adjust to their own convenience. There will be stress there too, but the best way has not yet been discovered. In the case of Japan's four-color traffic lights. Red = stop. Blue = Proceed. Yellow = Caution It's easy so far. Yellow + Blue = Reduced speed (65km to 75km) Yellow + yellow = speed restriction (25km or less) means. There are small differences between each railway company.
@@14ikesan12 Thank you for your long replay, ikesan 🙏 Yes, you‘re railway channel is very interesting! So it’s naturally that many people will explore it. The more are watching it, the more you have to do with the reply - because of that many channel owners stopped replying. I think that would be a shame, as it's always very interesting to get additional information like this - I think viewers also need feedback! With this in mind, thank you very much for your commitment and your reliable feedback - try to continue in this way! Many greetings 🖖
@@wandajackson3410 Thank you for your comment. Why write comments on videos? Of course, the reasons for this vary from person to person and there are many reasons, but I think it is very important that the person did not pass. If that's the case, I should write a reply to the comment so that the viewer feels a little more fulfilled. I believe that my work is all about doing that. It's fun when I'm traveling to a country I don't know and if the other person can understand my language.
@@14ikesan12 Thanks for all the work of filming and answering us dear ikesan 🙏 I also watched part 2 of your journey, of course gave a thumbs up - but didn‘t ask any questions this time, so I don’t want to stress you too much 😊 どうもありがとうございます Dōmo arigatōgozaimasu
@@wandajackson3410 you're welcome. After reading it, I welcome any comments that will help me learn or realize something. I feel relieved when I receive comments. No stress. (Although there are sometimes viewers who like surprise attacks.)
Good trip. I have never noticed before but there were a lot of small flashing yellow lights on posts about 1 metre tall and every 250 metres or so. Can you tell me what they tell the driver, please? Many thanks from the UK.
That traffic light seems to be unique to this route. It probably indicates that there are no obstacles ahead, but I don't know the exact function or name. I'll report when I find out.
I got it. All the trains I ride for photography are still EMUs (electric cars). I am not a professional crew member, so I cannot work on the locomotive. I'm just pointing my iPhone forward from behind the driver's seat. I can learn a lot.
I think it's a facility called a side track for safety. They are installed in single-track sections to prevent head-on collisions when a train approaches from ahead. Naturally, a train that is guided toward the side track will derail, but the idea is that this is better than a head-on collision between two trains, and once it is confirmed that no train is coming from the front, the rail will open to the main track. However, this facility is almost no longer used now that safety equipment has improved. The rails on the side track shown in the video are rusted and appear to be no longer in use.

Hi, if you could also share information about the train like number of coaches, whether electric or diesel electric traction, etc. Thanks.

7:06 never saw a switch like that before.
