Tsugaru Line.
The Tsugaru Railway Line (津軽鉄道線, Tsugaru Tetsudō-sen) is a railway line in Aomori Prefecture, Japan, connecting Tsugaru-Goshogawara in the city of Goshogawara and Tsugaru-Nakasato in the town of Nakadomari, in central-southern Tsugaru Peninsula. The line is the only railway line operated by the Tsugaru Railway Company, which is locally referred to as Tsutetsu (津鉄). The Tsugaru Railway Line is notable for its seasonal trains that are run during the summer, autumn and winter.[1][2] During the winter, the railcars are heated by coal fired stoves. The Tsugaru Railway Line should not be confused with the former government Tsugaru Line, now operated by JR East.
