Thank you for sharing another wonderful rail journey. I'm rather excited to be returning to Japan in two weeks with train journeys planned from Tokyo to Nagano, Kyoto and Kinosaki Onsen!
In 2001 we were in Osaka and one Saturday in the fall in inquired about going out into the countryside by rail to a small mountain village. I took an express train to a branch line where a single track over 15 km connected several stations with many trains of different sizes going back and forth frequently. Being in the transportation field I was dubious how such a system could ever work in the US!! I was sitting in the lead car where the engineer was in a glass booth. Before getting a green signal he raised his hand with a white glove over his head and then gradually lowered it acknowledging that he had seen the signal and could proceed. I wondered why? Then it dawned on me that an inspector might be hiding in the bushes unseen and if he didn't see the engineer give the white glove signal it would be all over! Perfect safety record!!
The "pointing and calling" technique is a well-known industrial safety practice that just happens to have been adopted by the Japanese railway. By associating a physical and verbal action with a safety-related observation point, the mental processes associated with that observation become more reliable, and instances of human error are reduced. It has nothing to do with a potential inspector by the lineside, but is a habit ingrained into drivers during their training. The single most significant reason why Japanese-style railway operations don't occur in America is because American railways are, almost without exception, prioritised for freight operations. Japanese and European railways give priority to passenger operations; if a freight train conflicts with a passenger train, it is the freight that must be shunted aside and made to wait, not the other way around. This allows for much better adherence to the timetable.
The train, houses and surrounds remind one of a Studio Ghibli movie. Having said that parts of the line must be a big maintenance headache with regards to clearance and removal of tree growth.
Japan has some of the best infrastructure on the planet. It's why they're among the best places to live. As an American who's never ridden a train, we need this. We need high speed rail. Japan is the undisputed king of East Asia. The only thing they really need right now is immigrants. Japan needs open borders to immigrants. Lucky for Japan they have more than enough luxuries to convince people to move there. Long live the land of the rising sun.
The English speakers who posted here don’t know how serious this railroad is. It only carries 10 person in average in a whole day. JR West Japan has started talking with the local governments about this railroad’s future. If it is continually not being used, a decision of its End Of Life may happen.

Good,thanks
美しい動画を提供してくださり、ありがとうございます
謝謝
I feel like traveling in japan when wacthing this. Thank you🙇
Thank you for posting these trips. Very beautiful and relaxing.
素晴らしい動画をありがとうございます。美しい風景が続きますね。植林された針葉樹の部分もありますが、多くが人が手をつけてない広葉樹の原生林に近いまま残されてるようにも見えます。もし廃止されるということになれば記録としても大変貴重なものになると思います。
山間走る列車😊
ステキな景色よね。
何もないけど緑が映えてるから
すごくキレイ。お弁当食べながらゆっくり乗って観たい。
Thanks for the great videos. Every time I watch one of your vidos I remember my great Japan vacation.
Thank you for sharing another wonderful rail journey. I'm rather excited to be returning to Japan in two weeks with train journeys planned from Tokyo to Nagano, Kyoto and Kinosaki Onsen!
Oh Matthew, did you have to say KINOSAKI ONSEN? One of my favorite places in the world. North tip of Hyogo.
What picturesque nature on the route of this beautiful train!
Lovely trip, very scenic! Up there with the very best. 🤩👍🏻🫠
Fantastic ride ! I like this side , its so beautiful . Good job. Thank you
My best friend, I liked the video very much, thanks you for sharing, stay safe, stay blessed
いい季節にいい天気。素晴らしい前面展望をありがとうございます。
こんな素晴らしい車窓をローカル線扱いするなんてもったいないですね。
JBLのFLIP5でボリュームを上げて鑑賞するとエンジン音がテーブルに響いて臨場感満載です。
こういう風景をみるにつけ、日本という国は鉄道とともにあったとつくづく思います。
Terima kasih teman sudah berbagi perjalanan dengan kereta di alam yang indah ini. Mari kita manjakan mata dengan keindahan alam yang luas ini. ❤
21:23 でかけよってくる男の子かわいい
確かに!!
Another new Video !!!!! LOVE .........
Сколько зелени кругом!
21:23 That boy in yellow, greets the train (;
i love single car DMUs it's like a bus on rails
素晴らしい。
これだけで、十分行った気分になってしまうのだが、
早いうちに乗車しておかないと取り返しのつかないことになるかもしれないと気が気でない。
I love those rice fields a lot ! 🥸
Like so many others, Thank You so much for sharing. Love this post!
芸備線は三次駅、備後落合駅で運転系統が別れています。
庄原市内を抜ける（備後庄原～備後落合駅～東城駅）２時間半以上掛かります。
利用促進等は机上の空論です。庄原市役所前から東城駅前まで高速バスで40分
三次駅～備後落合駅 46km １時間20分掛かります。１日５本
三次駅～備後庄原駅 22km 35分 備後庄原駅～備後落合駅 24km 44分
備後落合駅～新見駅 51km １時間半掛かります。１日３本
備後落合駅～東城駅 30km 50分 東城駅～新見駅 20km 40分
What a spectacular site to view while riding on a train.
foarte frumos este peisajul muntos!!!!!!😃🏞🌄🌿felicitări prietene👏👏🎉
Salutări din România👋👋
今後の去就について注目の的になっている芸備線。制限25㎞/h以下の区間が多数あり、線路の保守も大変な状況である。特に358番の事故廃車(2020年)が痛手となっている。
What Is please???Thak you very nice video's.🚞🚂

아름답다
This line nearly discontinues. Anybody should hop on the train. ほぼ廃線状態なのでみなさん乗りましょう
Amazing ride
例えば、JR西日本のスタンプラリーとか、何かのイベントでは、京阪神の駅ではなく、こういう赤字路線の途中駅とかにスタンプ設置したり、或いは駅前の店を利用したりしたらポイントが付く・・・とか言う企画をやったりして、『乗ってもらう人を増やす』様にすべきだと思う。
とりあえず『乗ってもらう』ことで、沿線の景色の素晴らしさとかを『知ってもらい』、そうすれば『また利用したくなる』とか『こんな田舎に住んでみたい』とかで路線利用者を増やしていかないと。
とにかくJRは、私鉄と違って『儲け方を知らない』。私鉄は、利益がないなら増やそうと努力する、JRは利益がないなら切り捨てる。営業努力がなさすぎる。国鉄から民間になっても考え方は『お国の公務員の知能レベル』。だからやる気がなくて株価も下がる。
レールの錆がえぐい…保線はせずに廃線待ちなんですかね…
錆より倉吉線の廃線跡みたいに削れてヤマが無いように見える。
Great video. I also appreciate when you film/include the overview of what you are riding on and the station you get on at.
美しい
遠足気分で景色見ながら弁当たべて。。
比較的周辺人口のある東城でさえ、乗る人は片手に数える程。これでは厳しい！後何年存続できるかだね。
東條駅停車中に、画面中央から左上に変なものが映っているが・・・・？
ただの虫では？
48:47と49:06～49:11辺りですかね?
カメラのレンズに小さい虫が居たんでしょうかね?
東城駅です

新見↔三次は廃止濃厚ですな。玉突きで木次線、福塩線の府中↔塩町も😢
4:06～4:37までは橋梁です 木がないとかっこいいんですけどねー 木がないとみえるんですが、そのあたりで牛舎があります そこでとれた牛乳や、季節の山菜や野菜をつかったアイス屋さんがあります おいしいんでぜひ行ってみてください。といっても芸備線では無理ですね
グリーンフィールド西城までは備後落合駅から片道2km・徒歩約30分です😊
Lovely. My cat didn't appreciate it - it's not catv. Thank you so much.
エクハのイベントのほうではライバルチームの御杜智役の大西沙織さんが欠席
はい

Линия настолько не выгодная, что порезали на метал стрелки и ответвления от основного пути.
Gosto muito desses videos. Qual a velocidade média desses trens?
👍👍👍🍀
느려젔네요 타보고 싶다
以前、この近くに住んでいましたが、仕事で忙しくついに乗る機会ないまま、転勤しました。周辺人口少なく、車中心の生活であれば利用者が少なくなってしまうのは仕方がないと思いますが、こんな素晴らしい景色の路線はぜひ残して欲しいです（収益の問題が大きいでしょうが・・・）試験的に、蒸気機関車、いや、設備が大変ですね、DD51あたりのディーゼル機関車牽引で観光列車（京都のトロッコ列車的な）を走らせる、みたいな企画で都市部にアピールするってどうでしょう？
اللهم صل على محمد وال محمد
残念ながら、右側の汚れは非常に厄介です。🧐🤔😣🤣
観光路線にすればいいのに、なぜ廃止しようとするダイヤをJR西日本はつくるのか？甚だ疑問。
海外から大勢、景色と乗車を楽しみに来てもらったら活況になることでしょう。
そもそも芸備線の人気は廃線危機に基づいたものですから、国内マニアでしか来ませんよ。
もう遅いよ。残り数年で廃止か！
太美了、目不暇給呀
Poor thing for one car of train... Why this only one coach of train?
大都会新見
賢い日本人。県内の人口が少ない区間で長距離列車を走らせても意味がありません。
芸備線用の観光列車を作れよ

秋になったら、行ってみようかなぁ・・
*B I N G O ! ! ! !*
Nice train ride through nature.
Thank you for this video showing a very.nice cab ride with beautiful landscapes seen.
And also nice sunny day.
昨年、函館本線の小樽～長万部間を乗った時、私はずっと前面展望でかぶり付きで観てました。中国山地縦貫の芸備線や姫新線も乗ってみたいです。この映像が過去帳にならないように。いいもの観させていただきました😂。ありがとうございました。
芸備線は三次までは活気あるのかな？
Thanks for making and sharing this video with the world. I so want to ride such trains myself.
اللهم صل عل محمد و آل محمد goood
JR西日本赤字路線ワースト１位の路線（備後落合ー東城）ですね。三江線も廃止されたことだし、いつ廃止になってもおかしくない。ということで、昨年、広島から津山に帰るときに乗車してきました。キハ120ならではのパノラマカー張りの前面展望。アドベンチャーワールドのような路線風景にワクワクしました。新見からはこれも赤字路線第10位の姫新線（新見ー中国勝山間）に乗車してきました。こちらは、多少開けてるかな ｗ キハ120は、かぶりつきだと本当に良く見えます（ただし、立ち見）。
Почему так медленно едет поезд ?
Та это же дизель и дорога крутая... Congratulations on Easter!
A wonderful journey thru beautiful Japan rural country side.🍶⛩🏯🥢🤠
اللهم صل على محمد وال محمد
Excelente
😂❤❤❤🎉😊😊😊
