Hi David,

I’ve had a look around, but can’t find much regarding the time around Showa-44 (昭和44年) (1969) when the locomotive was taken out of service.

Current videos are all over YouTube, just search for the japanese title of the service:

I hope this helps!

Steven.

Is a great pleasure to say hello to you!

My name is David Lopez Canales and I’m a writer from Madrid, Spain. I’m writing you to ask you for your kind help: I’m doing a documentary project about Japan and I will talk in it about the SL Banetsu Monogatori train. I’m interested in finding a video of the last trip of the trip done in 1969, or current videos. As you are a great fans of trains, I was wondering if you could know where could I find something like that. Any idea would be fantastic.

thank you very much and warm regards,

David

Alex,
Sorry to hear that you also missed out on tickets!
I hope you also manage to get out there and at least see the train, it should be still worthwhile.

Steven.

I am from Hong Kong and will visit Japen in late December. I planned to take the SL departure on 23/12, so I e-mail JR East three times since early November to ask one question, how can I reserve a SL ticket outside Japan. I finally received JR East reply on 23/11:

“You can’t reserve a ticket of the SL Banetsu Monogatari from our internet service which is offered
for international customers.
I’m sorry we can’t meet your request.
Thank you for your cooporation.”

It seem the Xmas special, even the SL Banetsu is only reserved for locals, not for visitors…

Anyway, good luck and hope you can take some good SL photo.
