Product Description

--Goodbye, and thank you, Kushiro Marshland Norokko train!

[Vehicle Introduction]
- The Kushiro Shitsugen Norokko train was launched in 1989 on the Senmo Main Line with the purpose of providing sightseeing opportunities in the Kushiro Marshland.
- This popular tourist train offered passengers the chance to enjoy the magnificent scenery of the Kushiro Marshland, operating 1-2 round trips a day, mainly on weekends and holidays, between Kushiro, Toro, and Kawayu Onsen stations during the summer months.
- Replacing the previously used train sets which consisted of a combination of older passenger cars and freight cars, second-generation passenger cars, which were extensively refurbished 50 series 51 type passenger cars, were introduced in 1998.
- This passenger train consists of four cars: Oha 510-1, Ohatefu 510-1, Ohatefu 500-51, and Okuhate 510-1 (until 2015, Ohatefu 510-2 was also included). It is primarily a deep green color with brown stripes that evoke the image of logs.
- The three cars whose model names include "[Te]," meaning observation car, have large cutouts on their sides and are fitted with large windows that offer spectacular views and allow passengers to feel the breeze.
- Inside the train, the Oha 510 retains the seats from its 51 series days, creating a nostalgic atmosphere, while the other three cars have a more rustic interior with wooden seats and tables.
- One side of the Okuhate 510 is equipped with a driver's cab, allowing it to operate the DE10 type locomotive coupled to the other end of the train via multiple-unit control.
- Specially painted locomotives, DE10-1660 and DE10-1661, were also prepared to match the passenger cars.
- The Kushiro Shitsugen Norokko train, a staple of Kushiro sightseeing, operated for many years, mainly during the summer months. However, due to the aging of the train cars, including the original 50 series 51 type, which were approximately 50 years old at the time of their manufacture, the train ceased operations on October 10, 2026.
