Bingo Ochiai must've been one of the very smallest and most remote interchange stations out there. There is absolutely nothing around the station, not even a hamlet around it.

[@yasukiwi]

Yeah 20 years ago when I rode from Matsue to Hiroshima on this line I thought I could grab some food at Bingo Ochiai. I thought there'd at least be a convenience store or something at the station. You can imagine my dismay when the reality dawned on arrival! Man was my stomach hungry by the time I got to Hiroshima!

That platform on the right at Izumo Yashiro Station makes it look like at one point there was another track there. Very interesting

[@khamronsingame]

There was but it was likely removed due to it not being needed. Having more points means more maintenance is required.

[@dannyleung2796]

The switching from 1:59 to 2:03 is interesting. Never seen anything like that before.

[@al-uw4ln]

This is called a switchback. It's like a road serpentine and has the same purpose. But because it's impossible for trains to make sharp u-turns the only solution is to change the direction. Switchbacks aren't uncommon for mountain railways despite traffic slowing off course. You can find a lot of them, for example, here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWW8qqefbrBsmck (watch all parts!).

[@Antipika]

Switchback occurs on the Akita Shinkansen at Omagari Station, also on the Ltd Express Hida at Gifu Station. So it's not even only on mountains, does happen in cities too and on faster trains! On trains where seats direction can be changed (like the Akita Shinkansen or Hida) you may board the train with seats facing backward and the announcer will warn you that the facing direction will change later on. (i.e. if you board between Akita>Omagari or Nagoya>Gifu).

[@dannyleung2796]

@@Antipika Now I guess switchbacks are common or even necessary in all railway systems. Unlike what we see in this video, they just do it in the backyard without passengers.

[@LeoStarrenburg]

How horrible that this line would be considered for closure. It is such a pleasant ride through the countryside. If I had the means to visit Japan I definitely would go out of my way to ride this line.

[@daciatravel.647]

Great video!

[@hammondB3_C3Tube1]

The engine sound of a diesel railcar sounds very comfortably in my PC surround system. This pleasant sound was also felt in the Takayama Line video from Nagoya Station to Toyama Station. Thank you for the wonderful images and sounds. I passed Minami-Shinji Station and commented unintentionally.🤓 >_> ディーゼル車のエンジン音が、私のPCサラウンドシステムで非常に心地良く鳴り響いています。 この心地良い音は、名古屋駅から富山駅の高山線動画でも感じました。 素敵な映像と音をありがとうございます。 私は南宍道駅を通過して思わずコメントしました。

Beautiful green country. I like diesel traction.

[@hammondB3_C3Tube1]

1:26:53 The first tunnel from Kamedake station (kametaka eki) is the Tandani tunnel (660m). I noticed that water had accumulated in the right waterway (?) around where the train went through the tunnel. Does water collect in this season?_? , I thought that water was springing from the wall inside the tunnel, and I felt difficulty of track maintenance management. (by Google translate & my fix.)

[@briancooper562]

Wow. The landscapes could be the inspiration for Studio Ghibli animations. I did mot see a Totoro though. On the negative side the vegetation in the track ballast is not good for the long time health of the track.

[@sellier-bellot22]

[@theharper1]

The extra rails are presumably to keep the train in place if it derails on a corner. I don't remember seeing that before.

[@50buttfish]

Extra rail - outside curves wear faster, just being prepared if needed.

[@justtruth467]

Does anyone have any idea as to how long the tunnel is? I think the people would know which one I am referring to.

[@rhscm989]

出雲坂根駅構内のスイッチバックは2段式ではなく、3段式が正当です。 ではその内訳を簡単に説明します。 ①：これからご覧いただく備後落合行きの場合、まず本線からいったんスイッチバック分岐部を通り越してそのまま出雲坂根駅ホームに直接入ります。 ②：発車の際最初の方向転換を行い、本線を進行方向左手に見ながらスイッチバック線に入り急勾配を駆け上がりながら、③で述べる本線との分岐部をいったん通り越してから奥の引き込み線へそのまま入ります。 ③：続いて引き込み線上で2度目の方向転換を行い、先程駆け上がってきた②のスイッチバック線との分岐部を再び通り越して、いよいよ隣の三井野原駅を目掛けて本線に入ります。

[@christophergilbransen1373]

What a pretty ride!

[@robertcoleman4861]

I think it has to be one of japans most scenic railway journeys and if they should try to close it down the good people of japan should band together to save it jr west should promote it as a tourist line people would come from all around the world to ride on it the same thing happened in our state of nsw (australia) they closed down most of the state country lines and if you want to go to country nsw you have to catch a bus the state goverment of the day wrecked the whole system cheers bob. ps "DONT LET IT HAPPEN OVER THERE".

[@khamronsingame]

While it's not impossible, it would be difficult since this line does not lead anywhere. In addition, the Hakubi line which serves a similar route is very close by. There have been some success stories of railway companies in Japan bringing on tourist trains to increase profits but in those cases, it's a line that leads to a particular somewhat populous city which has no other railways nearby. JR just closed the Sanko Line which was quite near to the Kisuki Line a few years ago, but at least this line has a few more regular passengers than that line.

Very scenic line and enjoyable video. It was sad to see the tracks so overgrown with weed and the constant speed restrictions presumably due to the poor state of the track. JR should invest in some urgent upgrades to the track.

[@khamronsingame]

I doubt the speed restrictions are due to poor maintenance. The Kisuki line was built in 1932 and is a very mountainous line. Lots of curves would require the speed limits we see to operate safely. I doubt JR would put money into this line beyond keeping it in somewhat usable form since it earns very little money.

2022年4月にJR西日本が「ローカル線に関する課題認識と情報開示について」の中で、木次線の営業成績の厳しさを公表した事を、この動画視聴中にコメントとググったWEBページから知りました。 この動画が未来に残る事を期待します。 木次線の路線をGoogle Earthで探り、動画のシーンと連動して地図を移動していましたが、この衛星写真地図は昨年2021年6月10日撮影で、この動画の 「 奥出雲地方の田植えが始まる直前のような水田の水引きの様子 」から、衛星写真の撮影日に近い日に乗車して撮影されたように思っています。 因みに、中国地方の山陰地方と瀬戸内地方では、田植えの時期は山陰地方の方が早いと思います。これは瀬戸内地方より山陰の方が冬が早く始まる事からだと思いますよ、、、? _ ?。 参考URL （URLに頭文字 h を追記して下さい） niftyニュース > 乗りものニュース > 2022年04月25日 14時12分 [ 観光列車に頼りすぎた？ 赤字深刻のJR木次線どうなる 観光客で盛況も「足」にはならず ] ttps://news.nifty.com/article/item/neta/12203-1597941/
