JNR Trains: Series 82

The Hokuto Ltd. Exp. Copyright Y.UENO

Series 82 diesel train was developed in 1961.
Although it was not so powerful and its maximum speed was as low as 100km/h but it was used for many limited expresses almost all over Japan.
This one is The Hokuto Limited Express at Onuma station in Hokkaido.
It took about more than four hours from Hakodate to Sapporo.
At present the fastest Super Hokuto requires only three hours to travel through.
