Two of Japan's greatest train services come to and end.

[Super]

Oh, now that explains what the Mizukaze replaces, thanks Geris, I didn't connect the dots with that. Big difference as the Mizukaze is a hybrid diesel and should be able to go where no wires are. Hmm, wonder if there are going to be more than one Mizukaze? The Wiki page for the retiring Twilight Express is kind of inconclusive as t0 how many there might be. In the upper right it sounds like only one but further down its lists the Route and the different lines. I also wonder, that if the Mizukaze is the replacement for the Twilight Express, why retire it in 2015 when the Mizukaze won't start service for 2 years in the spring of 2017. Two years without luxury Sleeper cars...Oh my.
