A special service linking three popular sightseeing trains on the JR Yodo Line will be held. The line celebrated its 50th anniversary in March.
The route is in the red, and a council formed by local governments along the line has decided to cut the line ahead of the full-fledged tourist season. At JR Uwajima Station, where the first train departs, there are three trains: The ``Railway Hobby Train'' modeled after the first-generation Shinkansen ``0 Series'' The ``Kappa Uyoyo'' with a kappa painted on it.
