Product Description

It's 216 pages in full color, with approximately 400 photos all newly taken. Because it's official, I was able to take so many photos.
An official JR Central photo book packed with everything about Doctor Yellow [T4]'s emotional retirement!
With the full cooperation of JR Central, this is the 923 Doctor Yellow T4 train, a seven-car yellow Shinkansen train that will be retired in January 2025.
Its original mission was to silently inspect the facilities of the Tokai and Sanyo Shinkansen lines and ensure their safe operation on a daily basis, but it has since captured the hearts of many people, regardless of age or gender, and has become one of the most popular trains in railway history.
In this photo book, railway photographer Murakami Yuta follows the inside story of the T4 for a year before and after its retirement.
With the full cooperation of JR Central, the film includes footage of the view from the driver's cab on the final run, work that is normally not open to the public, such as meticulous maintenance and cleaning at the depot, and the stories of fans and employees who saw off T4.
