Oh yes I liked this- the trains and the scenery both look great.

I do approve of the way you can sit behind the driver and watch where you're going. You can't do that on British trains any more except on a few heritage lines that have preserved multiple units.

Am I right in thinking that the slightly obsessive-compulsive looking ritual at about 1.50 is the standard JR procedure to acknowledge signals?

@TimRuffle Traditionally, express trains of Odakyu feature the front view of scenery, but generally, even in Japan it's getting more difficult for passengers to enjoy the front view because of safety and security reasons, you know.

Regarding the driver at 1:50, yes, it is so-called "Finger Pointing and Call." Train and bus drivers, or plant operators in Japan, are supposed to do so to prevent human error.

Hello. Sorry to bother, but what is the title and artist of this song. It's simply wonderful!

いや～いつもの事ながら素晴らしすぎます。運転本数が少ない列車­をここまで丁寧に追いかけるとは、脱帽です。
