Regarding the Train Separation Incident Near Tsugaru-lizume Station on December 29, 2025
At around 14:52 on December 29, 2025, an incident occurred in which an outbound local train bound for Tsugaru-Nakasato (Train No. 155, consisting of two Tsugaru 2l-type diesel cars and two passenger coaches, four cars in total) became separated just after departing Tsugaru-lizume Station. The coupling between the two leading diesel cars and the two following coaches detached, causing the emergency brakes to activate on all cars and bringing the train to an abrupt stop.
We sincerely apologize for the significant inconvenience caused to our passengers.
To Passengers Who Planned to Ride the Stove Train
As a measure for those who were looking forward to riding the Stove Train, we will place the coaches on Track 4 inside Tsugar-Goshogawara Station and open them to the public free of charge.
A coal stove will be lit inside the coach so that visitors may still enjoy the unique atmosphere of the Stove Train.
We take this incident very seriously and will further strengthen our efforts to improve safety.
We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused and ask for your understanding.
