In recent years, Hokkaido has seen a series of local railway lines being abolished. Lines that were unique and full of travel atmosphere, such as the Esashi Line (Kikonai - Esashi), Rumoi Main Line (Rumoi - Fukagawa), Yubari Branch Line (Shin-Yubari - Yubari), Sassho Line (Hokkaido Medical University - Shintotsukawa), Rumoi Main Line (Ishikari-Numata - Rumoi), and Nemuro Main Line (Furano - Shintoku), have disappeared into history. In addition, when the Hokkaido Shinkansen is extended to Sapporo, the mountain line section of the Hakodate Main Line, which will become a parallel conventional line, is scheduled to retire.

This magazine pays tribute to the local lines that have disappeared, and contains many pages of graphs and articles on each line. It also contains interesting articles on the trends of local lines in Hokkaido after the 21st century and the current state of railway replacement buses.

The highlight of the issue will be the flashback articles from the 1970s and 1980s , which will be nostalgic for veteran fans.
