Railway
The second volume of the series, which introduces the current railway lines of Hokkaidō in the 1970 s and 1980 s, consists of four lines running mainly on the Central Circuit. Muroran Main Line was opened by Hokkaido Coal Co., Ltd. in Meiji 1892. In 1928, after nationalization, the entire line connecting Oshamambe and Iwamizawa 211 kilometers was opened. Hidaka Main Line was 146.5 kilometers from Tomakomai to Samani. However, in April 2021, it was officially decided that the line south of Mukawa, which accounts for 80% of all lines, would be abolished. As a result, the distance became 30.5 kilometers, the shortest among JR lines calling themselves "main lines." Chitose Line is the only line in Hokkaidō connecting Numanohata in Tomakomai City, Shiraishi in Sapporo City, and New Chitose Airport Station in Chitose City (excluding branch lines). Sekisho Line was opened in 1892 as the connecting line of Yubari in Hokkaido Colliery and Railway Company, and is now the main line connecting Central Circuit and Doutou. In this book, you can enjoy a variety of nostalgic railway pictures, from those of steam locomotives running on these four lines to those of diesel cars and trains.
