TO ISHINOMAKI ON THE SENSEKI LINE


JR's Senseki Line connecting Sendai City and Ishinomaki was damaged by the 311 tsunami in 2011 and its service had been partially suspended since then. And in May of this year the entire line resumed after 4 years.
仙台の街と石巻をつなぐJR仙石線は2011年の震災で被災し、それ以来一部の区間が不通になっていたが、この5月に4年ぶりに全線が開通した。

Tonight I make a transit to the Senseki Line at Sendai Station and travel to Ishinomaki for the first time since its comeback. The train itself is almost the same as the one for the Yamanote Line, but it has toilets on-board and buttons which enable passengers to open and close train doors.
今夜は復活後初めて仙台駅で仙石線にトランジットし、石巻へ向かう。列車そのものは山手線の車両とほとんど同じだが、車内にはトイレがついていて、乗客はボタンを使って乗降用のドアを開閉することができる。
