For over 20 years, Niigata Prefecture has been considering the Shin'etsu Line high-speed upgrade and mini-Shinkansen upgrade. I've been mulling over similar ideas for a while now, but thinking this would drag on, I decided to settle down and start editing the video. It ended up being my longest video yet.

The data on train and highway bus fares and service numbers shown in the video are from that time.
Fares and service numbers are from that era.
They differ from current data.

Trains without images were recreated using A-Train 9 and A9TC.
Please understand the accuracy of the recreation; leave it alone, and don't try to find it.

*All music except "Tet-tet-te" was recreated by ear.
