Over the years the set of coaches used for this train has been updated and by 2014 there were nearly enough to make up three complete sets. I think only one set ran at a time but in busy periods maybe two. The different lines listed is the route it takes as it makes it's way from Osaka (west of Tokyo) to Sapporo on the northern island of Hokkaido.
Two of Japan's greatest train services come to and end.
