Joban Line

First written August 2024

 

The Joban Line (常磐線) is a commuter train line run by the East Japan Railway Company servicing the Tohoku region. The service runs from Tokyo north along the Pacific coast and the Tohoku mainline. In the past, Hitachi-service express trains traversed the line, with a variety of different local and rapid commuter services between different commuter stations.

Shown here are some of the different Plarail trains I have which represent trains that have run on the Joban line.
