Happy New Year! This is the 11th episode of the Tokitetsu Series: Famous Trains.
Today, we're going to see the abandoned railway lines around three stations: Kasugayama, Takada, and Joetsu Myoko.

There are surprisingly few places that can be called "remains" of abandoned railways.
It feels like even though the Myoko-Haneuma Line is no longer in operation, there are still many places where the tracks remain.

...That's all I have to say.
Anyway, thank you for your continued support this year.
