Next route to be distributed

[p]Thank you for playing JR EAST Train Simulator![/p][p][/p][p]We hope you are all enjoying the Joban Line DLC major update that was implemented on May 27th, which randomized the signal indications.[/p][p][/p][p]We have received many comments about the Joban Line DLC, such as “I'm glad to be able to drive the Special Rapid” and “The sound of the motor has become more realistic! and “I can drive with a greater sense of urgency than before! The production team is encouraged by all of the positive feedback and candid reviews.[/p][p]Thank you again for the many reviews and supportive comments.[/p][p][/p][h3]Now, I hope you all got the hint about the next distribution route that I gave in the last announcement.

Let's try to answer what the DLC that “the route with the nice red railway bridge” represents was![/h3][p][/p][p]・[/p][p][/p][p]・[/p][p][/p][p]・[/p][p][/p][h3]The meaning of the “red iron bridge” was the “Daini-Hirosegawa Bridge” between Rikuzen-Shirasawa and Kumagane Stations. The Daini-Hirosegawa Bridge, also known as the Kumagane Railroad Bridge, creates a beautiful scene with its red iron bridge and the valley of the Hirose River. Speaking of the Second Hirose River Bridge, you already know what I mean, don't you?[/h3][p][/p][h3]The meaning of “Routes that cannot be ridden through in one train” was “a line that has both electrified and non-electrified sections within a single line, with separate operations.
You all already know what I mean when I say “Routes where operations are divided between electrified and non-electrified sections” vehicles, don't you?[/h3][p][/p][h2]So, the next DLC will be "Senzan Line" [/h2][p][/p]

[p] Route: Senzan Line[/p]
[p] Section: Down Sendai Station ⇒ Yamagata Station (62.8km)[/p]
[p] Series E721-1000 (4-car and 6-car trains)[/p]
[p] Release date: Scheduled for Tuesday, June 24, 2025[/p]
[p] Sales price: 3,480 yen[/p]

[h3][/h3][p]The Senzan Line is a 58.0 km long line connecting Sendai Station in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture and Uzen Chitose Station in Yamagata City, Yamagata Prefecture. The line was named “Senzan Line” after the initials of the two cities, as it connects Sendai and Yamagata. At Uzen Chitose Station, the line connects to the Ōu Main Line, and trains on the Senzan Line also run directly to Yamagata Station. It is also known as the first AC electrified railroad line in Japan.[/p][p]In addition to trains connecting Sendai Station and Yamagata Station, there are also many section trains that run from Sendai Station to Ayashi Station and Sakunami Station. There is also a rapid train that stops only at major stations from Ayashi Station to Yamagata Station.[/p][p]After leaving Sendai Station, trains run through a residential area for a while, passing through Kitasendai Station with its many condominiums and Tohoku Fukushi Daigaku Mae Station, which is frequented by students, before heading to Ayashi Station, one of the main stations on the line. After leaving Ayashi Station, the train enters the mountainous area near Sakunami Station, famous for Sakunami Hot Springs and the “Cradle of Exchange Electrification” monument, and heads for Uzen Chitose Station via Yamadera Station, which attracts many tourists. In the mountainous area, there are many tunnels, railway bridges, and curves, and you can feel the ruggedness of the Ōu Mountains.[/p][p]From Uzen Chitose Station, the train transfers to the Ōu Main Line, running parallel to the Yamagata Shinkansen line, which has tracks of different widths, and arrives at its final destination, Yamagata Station.[/p][p]We hope you will enjoy the scenery as it transitions from residential areas to the suburbs and mountains.[/p][p][/p][p]We are working hard on the production of the film so that we can update you on its production status as soon as possible. Please look forward to further updates![/p]
