Product Description
──The second installment of the night local series. The Karamatsu, which ran between Otaru and Kushiro in Hokkaido with old passenger cars until 1980, is now available!
[Product Introduction]
- The Karamatsu is an overnight local train that runs the 428.7km between Otaru and Kushiro via the Hakodate Main Line and the Nemuro Main Line.
- Although it is a local train, it is equipped with B-class sleeping cars, and was given the nickname "Karamatsu" so that these B-class sleeping cars can be reserved through the MARS system, which manages and issues seats.
- It was discontinued with the timetable change in 1980, making it the earliest overnight local train to lose its name.
- Following the [Sanin] in KATO's passenger train lineup, we will be commercializing the [Karamatsu], which operated in Hokkaido, as the second installment of the `night train local` series.
- By replacing the cars with the 5140 Mani 50, which is scheduled to be reproduced at the same time, it is possible to recreate the formation seen at the end of the series.
