We hope everyone is enjoying the Yokosuka Line DLC and updates that were released on Tuesday, October 29.
We have received the following comments about the Yokosuka Line DLC.
"The automatic broadcast is now played, bringing it closer to the atmosphere of the actual car."
"The motor sound of the E217 series has also been modified to more closely resemble that of the actual car."
We are encouraged by all of these positive comments and your candid reviews.
Thank you again for the many reviews and supportive comments.

Now, I hope you all got the hint about the next distribution route that I gave in the last YouTube live-stream.(1：36：30～)
Let's try to answer the question, what was the line represented by “a line that runs along part of an abandoned rail line.”

The meaning represented by “a line running along part of an abandoned railway line” was “the former Itsukaichi Railway line between Tachikawa and Musashi-Uenohara,” which is the “Ome Short Line” on which down trains run directly from the Chuo Line rapid Service.
[h4]So, the next DLC will be "Ome Line"[/h4]
- Route: Ome Line
- Section: Outbound Tachikawa Station ⇒ Okutama Station (37.2km)
- Model: Series E233-0 (4-car, 6-car, 10-car)
- Release date: Scheduled for Thursday, November 28, 2024
- International sales price: US$29.99
The Ome Line is a 37.2 km long line connecting Tachikawa Station in Tachikawa City, Tokyo, and Okutama Station in Okutama-cho, Nishitama-gun, Tokyo.
In the past, the “Holiday Rapid Okutama” special rapid train used to run directly from Shinjuku Station to Okutama Station on weekends and holidays, but now regular trains run only to Ome Station, and seasonal trains are operated between Ome and Okutama Stations.
The train runs through a residential area until Ome Station. The train runs through Nishi-Tachikawa Station, which is the closest station to the Showa Kinen Park, and Haijima Station, which is a major transportation hub. There are many trains to Ome Station, and the line is double-tracked until near Higashi Ome Station.
After leaving Ome Station, the scenery is green with trees and mountains. This section of the line is nicknamed the “Tokyo Adventure Line,” and trains with special wrapping are in operation. The line runs along the valley of the Tama River via Hinatawada Station, which is the closest station to Yoshino Plum District, and Ontake Station, which is the gateway to Mt. Ontake.
Please enjoy the Ome Line, which has two distinctive features: a double track running through a residential area and a single track running through the mountains.
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!
