Description
●In the late 1960s, the train that reached the peak of the steam locomotive boom was the express train "Niseko" connecting Hakodate and Sapporo. The express train "Niseko", which appeared in the nationwide blank timetable revision in October 1968 (Showa 43), called "Yonsanto", ran on the Hakodate Main Line from Hakodate to Otaru, Sapporo, and Asahikawa via Oshamanbe, and supported the large flow of people and logistics such as mail and small packages between Honshu and Hokkaido via the Seikan Ferry. In particular, on the Hakodate Main Line between Otaru and Oshamanbe, commonly known as the "Yama Line", the sight of a large steam locomotive C62 running in double-units with an auxiliary engine attached to the front is a legendary tale that marks the peak of the steam locomotive boom.
After the farewell triple-unit C62 on September 15, 1971, the operation was carried out with a double-unit DD51.
