A winter tradition that runs through the Kushiro Wetlands. Hokkaido's only active steam locomotive train, the "Steam Locomotive Winter Wetlands," is now available!
●The "Steam Locomotive Winter Wetlands" is a winter-only tourist train that runs between Kushiro and Shibecha on the Senmo Main Line.
●It is the only steam locomotive currently operating in Hokkaido, and it operates with a series of passenger cars, including the "Tancho Car," where the seats are arranged facing the windows so that you can feel the great outdoors of the Kushiro Wetlands up close, and the "Stove Car," which has a Daruma stove installed inside the car.
●The locomotive that pulls the locomotive, C11 171, was once preserved in a park in Shibecha, but was restored to working order in 1998.
●It has been used to pull various event trains in Hokkaido, and is currently used exclusively as the locomotive for the train.
●It is also characterized by the fact that it drives in reverse on the return trip.
●Hokkaido's active steam locomotive train is now available in N gauge.
●In addition to the C11 171 single item and the 5-car passenger car set, a specially designed locomotive + passenger car set in a sleeve will also be released at the same time as a specially planned item.
●You can enjoy it together with the vehicles in service at JR Hokkaido and the steam locomotive trains operated on other JR lines.
