Steam locomotive D51 200. Ride the green car of the SL Yamaguchi from Tsuwano to Shin-Yamaguchi.

D51200 wakes up at Tsuwano Station SL turntable. Pre-departure inspection.
Connected to the 35 series passenger car next to Tsuwano Station. Details of D51200. Orange flames in the boiler room.
The inside of the green car observation room just behind the locomotive and the running locomotive seen from there.
Inside the green car, with the windows open, you can hear the whistle and the sound of steam.
Rear view from the last observation deck.
In-car announcement, nostalgic chime.
The locomotive was separated at Shin-Yamaguchi Station.
The steam locomotive D51200, which has been out of operation on the SL Yamaguchi since May 2022 due to a problem with its coal locomotive, will return to the SL Yamaguchi for the first time in two years from May 3, 2024.
To commemorate its revival, I would like to share with you my experience riding the SL Yamaguchi green car in March 2022, about a month before its suspension of operation.
This is a solo trip that loosely connects sightseeing spots and terminal stations by train and foot.
The crew, conductor, and other staff members of D51 on the SL Yamaguchi
Thank you for the wonderful trip.
Also, congratulations on the revival of D51200.
Recently, I was editing a video I shot two years ago, and the emotion from that time came back to me.
I would also like to ride the D51 SL Yamaguchi.
thank you very much.
Finally, two years ago, at the Midori-no-madoguchi counter at JR Uozumi Station,
The green ticket of the Yamaguchi train and the front row of the limited express Yakumono Panorama Green.
I would like to thank the station staff who took the train at the same time as the 10 o'clock train.
I had a great trip. thank you very much.
For those who work during the day on weekdays, in order to request "10 o'clock work",
Both the travel date and the reservation date must be holidays.
This time, I was able to request it because the days of the week were in the same order in February and March.
It was my first "10 o'clock shift".
The tension just before 10 o'clock, the sense of accomplishment when you got the ticket,
I remember the small applause from another station employee who was standing next to me.
The Midori-no-madoguchi counter has disappeared from JR Uozumi Station, but I still have fond memories of it.
thank you very much.

D51に乗った直後に見る、500系新幹線との格差感がイイね。タイムスリップしたみたいで。

500系という事は、最後までご視聴ありがとうございます。500系が来たのでつい撮ってしまいました。このようなコメントをいただくと500系のシーンも動画に入れてよかったです。今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。ありがとうございます。

Can I use JR pass to board the train? Or I have to buy additional ticket? I'm planning to use Okayama-Hiroshima-Yamaguchi area pass. Japanese steam locomotives are about to disappear after SL人吉 ended service.
