Shinkansen Track In Koriyama
About the Shinkansen Track in Koriyama Camera
This camera watches the Tohoku Shinkansen line at Koriyama in Fukushima. Trains on this stretch run at full line speed, so passes are quick and frequent rather than leisurely.
Koriyama is a significant junction rather than a stop of convenience. The Ban'etsu West and Ban'etsu East lines branch here, connecting toward Aizu-Wakamatsu on one side and the Pacific coast on the other, which is a large part of why the city grew into Fukushima's commercial centre.
For rail watching the appeal is the variety of stock. Tohoku Shinkansen services share this corridor with Yamagata and Akita through-services, so several different liveries pass the same point, sometimes coupled together in the distinctive paired formations those routes use.
