Hey, I'm glad this thread was posted again, I had lost the address for the train watching site and wanted to watch it again. I hope some make new comfortable webms about the events.

that black train is kinda spooky
maybe I'm too used to seeing the most common types of colors

that black train is kinda spooky

>>15318887

Train driver is fassssssssssst

>>15341225

I still don't know whether thats really him.

>>15348175

Nice. I never get to see cool events and when I do I can never capture them in time for a webm.

>>15333935
nice moment i think, and some bonus background

it takes exactly one hour for the sun to completely rise in this station
just thought i'd let you know

>>15349906
What is your definition of completely rise, though? I'm confused.

>>15352424
being able to see just as much as during the middle of the day

>>15354244
Ah, I see. I was thinking more about astronomical, nautical, and civil dawn.

>>15328536
Where is that?

What a beautiful train station.

Where do those students come from? Nearby high/middle school?

>>15370491

there is a bus terminal in front of the station
Aizu Gakuho HS is at 1Km (pic related)
Daiichi Junior HS is at 500m

>>15371102

Wakamatsu Daiichi is at 800m
maybe we can recognize the seifuku? I never tried

I have to visit this station after I move to Japan in November

Gunma anon reporting in.

Do any of you anons listen to albums while watching the stream? I find ambient like Solar Fields or BoC works great watching the sunrise

JR Yokosuka Line: Kita-Kamakura Station

I know this is mostly an Aizu thread, but I thought some people might interested in this if they play Train Simulator.
http://train-simulator.com/japanese-suburban-rail/

>Situated in the Nara Prefecture of the Kansai region in Japan, there are many rural railway lines that interconnect to provide local residents with a vital connection to the bustling city of Osaka. Converging at Takada for the run up to the main city, the Wakayama Line and the Sakurai Line are particularly busy routes featuring a scenic yet bustling journey throughout.

>>15391220
I really like this weather

>>15391240
Me too, I love it, even though I don't remember liking it that much last year or the year before. Surprised me that there's still daylight at 7 pm, but I forget that it's summer in Japan now.

>>15392363
>it's summer in Japan now.

it's still spring; solstice is next week:

Hello, rare event collector here

Have a few interesting things, perhaps not the rarest

Starting with the mechanical problem train complete with shiny red flag. Everyone seems concerned including the passengers.

>>15403009
and everyone says goodnight after the inspection

we have a night animal of some sorts. It seems to like walking on the rail

>>15403022
and one more

>>15403022
>>15403029
I thought it was a cat initially but it might be a racoon.

>>15403042
yeah, that seems likely

>>15296822
This is this week. RIP ;-;

>>15403009
>mechanical problem

nah, probably there was an animal or tree branches or something on tracks and the conductor hit the brakes and told the passengers what was going on

-riding a train not even a second out of schedule
-suddenly this demon appears on tracks
would you hit the brakes or not?

>>15404453
I wouldn't, since she consciously chose to get in front of the train.

>>15404453
>hitting the brakes to ruin your perfect time

>>15296822
When's this train coming into Aizu? I wanna be there.

Can I go from Sendai to Aizu-Wakamatsu and then Tokyo in a single day and still have enough time to appreciate the station (and the surrounding city.. I guess... if I have to...)?
You experts ought to know this, right?

Lot's of people came out to see the SL today.

>>15414319
And here she is going away.

I have to wonder though where do they turn the SL around? I know Aizu has a turntable, but where do they put the coaches? On another platform, or off on a siding?

It looks like there's another sl on the tracks the camera doesn't cover. Saw a lot of smoke moving towards it, anyway.

That's a lot of people...

>>15296822
Gentlemen, it's arrived.

Pay your respects.

large crowd taking pictures

Never seen this before. It's noisy.

What's this?

>>15414847
sorry for the artifacts

>>15414670
I thought the train got retired two years ago?

>>15422295
rare color

>>15423885
This week has been full of rare events.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74LgXIGtSkM

>>15426995
Woah she was actually at Aizu? Nice.

>>15426995
It's nice to see a close up video of it. I hope its going to still be running once in a while like the other one that was retired last year did.

>>15428227
but this one was a specialty train that was already past its normal operating life, right? I'm confused how many stages of retirement there could possibly be.

>>15414319
I'd travel mile just to see that thing let along get the experience to ride one gasp dare I say drive one? Hey /Jp/ have any of you ever considered becoming a train conductor before?

>>15414319
>>15414341
>>15414362
>>15414646
Is there any webm's of the SL?

>>15430884
No but I'd love a webm of >>15426995 from 2:56-3:30

I missed it too. :(

>>15370491
Some of them are from Aoi high school, their uniform are quite recognizable.

>>15455145
The Steam Loco shows up on the weekends.

>>15455208
I'll take the 4th from the right, thanks.

>>15330957

Not anyone recently though it seems.

>>15470470
Holy shit, that's a lot of snow.

>>15470509
It's actually an illusion caused by snow blocking the lens.

I was never really into rail related stuff until i saw these threads. I would like to thank the OP's of the threads for starting them, I know this isnt my blog, but they have helped me quite a bit through some very fucked up times recently.

red is one of the rarer colors

comfy evening
