A Railway Station on the coast!

by Kazu

This is the small unmanned railway station on Hakodate Line from and to Sapporo City. The name of the station is "Kogane". No officer was there. The conductor of the train takes care of the passenger and takes its toll.

For the maintenance of the railway and the station, many staff should be stay near the station but after streamlining the railway company, they must be dispatched from the nearest key station of the railway.

No express train stops by the station but even now, many students and commuters take and get off the train in this station. Waiting time in winter must be tough for the users, I think.
