Kato 2017-2 2017-3 Hokkaido Series , Again !!

Relive the golden age of steam with the iconic Hokkaido double-header C62s! This set features C62 No. 2, known as “Swallow Angel” for its stainless-edged deflectors and Tsubame emblem, and C62 No. 3—both famous for hauling the express “Niseko” in harsh northern winters. On the Hakodate Main Line, known as the “mountain line,” it often ran in double-heading formation with a helper locomotive at the front, gaining massive popularity. C62 No. 2 is now preserved in running condition at the Kyoto Railway Museum, while No. 3 saw revival service as the “C62 Niseko” until 1995.
