JR EAST Train Simulator - Development Staff(JR East)
Thank you for playing JR EAST Train Simulator!
We hope you are all enjoying the Joban Line DLC and major update that was released on August 29.
Some users commented on the Joban Line DLC, "I can enjoy the change of scenery along the line, from the city center with its many high-rise buildings to the quiet countryside!" and "The dead sections are so realistic and fun!"
We have also received a number of positive comments and candid reviews about the major update, such as "I was surprised by the huge amount of the new schedule," and "I really enjoyed driving while anticipating the rapidly changing signal indications, which is a completely different experience from the previous off-peak periods, even on the same route. The production team is encouraged by these comments.
Thank you again for the many reviews and supportive comments.
Now, we would like to inform you of the next distribution schedule, which you have all been waiting for.

The Shin-etsu Line connects Takasaki Station in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture with Niigata Station in Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture.
In the past, a single line connected Takasaki Station to Niigata Station, but with the opening of the Shinkansen line to Nagano (now Hokuriku Shinkansen) in October 1997, the line between Yokokawa Station and Karuizawa Station, which runs parallel to the Shinkansen line, was discontinued. At that time, the remaining line between Karuizawa Station and Shinonoi Station was also transferred to Shinano Railway. In March 2015, the Hokuriku Shinkansen line extension between Nagano and Kanazawa stations opened for service, and management of the line between Nagano and Naoetsu stations was also transferred to Shinano Railway and Echigo TOKImeki Railway.
Currently, the Shin-etsu Line operating as JR EAST has three sections: between Takasaki Station and Yokokawa Station, between Shinonoi Station and Nagano Station, and between Naoetsu Station and Niigata Station. This DLC includes the section between Naoetsu Station and Niigata Station.
Omigawa(青海川) Station, located on the way to the station, is known as a station adjacent to the sea, along with Umi-Shibaura Station on the Tsurumi Line and Rikuzen-Otsuka Station on the Senseki Line, where you can watch the sun set over the Sea of Japan from the platform.The train runs along the seaside section of the Sea of Japan between Naoetsu Station and Kashiwazaki Station, and through the countryside between Kashiwazaki Station and Niigata Station.
We are working hard on the production so that we can inform you of the production status as soon as possible. Please look forward to further updates!
