Thank you for this video. Does anybody know where the first tunnel from Oyubari railway line is? I thought the first tunnel start in front of the dam. Also the bridges from the forest railways are interesting (Not shown here in video, the water level was to high to see it) The Yubari line with the tunnels and the zigzag station would be also interesting, but I guess you can`t see much there, the track is overgrown. I learned much about railway lines and coal mining on Hokkaido. It`s sad what is left from these things, but coal mining became unimportant during the time, not only in Japan. The municipalities went poor, no work for the people, the railways line were shut down, the villages and towns went deserted. We have the same problems here in Germany, at example in the ore mountains and in Lusatia (open-cast lignite mining), where I live. The saddest thing is, that the coal regions arrived at the same position like before they start coal mining: They are poor, forgotten and abandoned regions.
