We hope everyone is enjoying the update we made on Tuesday, September 24.
Regarding the newly added driver voice for the Hachinohe Line, we received a comment
that “it is interesting that the call-outs are quite different from those on other lines.
We are encouraged by the many positive comments and your candid reviews, such as “I am glad to experience routes I don't have yet,” about the addition of some routes to the basic pack.
Thank you again for the many reviews and supportive comments.
Now, did everyone get the hint about the next delivery route that was in the announcement at the time of the last update?
Let's try to answer the question, what was the line that "24364"represented?

The meaning of "24364" was “the distance from the starting point of a railroad crossing that exists on a certain line,” referring to the famous Yahata No. 2 crossing(24,364 meters from the starting point), where trains come just barely close enough to turn around.
Speaking of the Yahata No. 2 railroad crossing, you all know what I'm talking about, don't you?
[h4]So, the next DLC will be "Yokosuka Line"![/h4]
- Route: Yokosuka Line
- Section: Inbound Kurihama ⇒ Tōkyō（70.4km）
- Model: E217（4car・11car・15car）
- Release date: Scheduled for October 29, 2024 (Tuesday) Japan Standard Time (JST)

The Yokosuka Line is a 23.9 km long line connecting Kurihama Station in Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture and Ōfuna Station in Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Although the official name of Ōfuna Station to Tōkyō Station is Tōkaido main line, trains run directly from Kurihama Station to Tōkyō Station, so the line between Kurihama and Tōkyō Stations is known as the Yokosuka Line.
In 1980, the Sobu Rapid Line started direct service from Tōkyō Station to Chiba, and it can go to Chiba and Narita Airport and other areas in Chiba Prefecture. The Narita Express, a limited express train bound for Narita Airport, and other trains with various destinations can be seen.
In 2001, the Shōnan Shinjuku Line began direct service from Zushi Station to Utsunomiya Station, providing convenient access to Shinjuku Station and other Tōkyō subcenters and to the Utsunomiya Line.
The train leaves Kurihama Station for Yokohama Station via Yokosuka Station, a military port town; Kamakura Station, famous for the Daibutsu statue and Tsurugaoka Hachiman Shrine; and Ōfuna Station, where the train joins the Tōkaidō Main Line.
After Yokohama Station, the line separates from the Tōkaidō Main Line near Tsurumi Station and heads for Shinagawa via Shin-Kawasaki Station and Musashi-Kosugi Station, where the Shin-Tsurumi Engine Works is spead, while running alongside the Tōkaidō Shinkansen.
After Shinagawa Station, the line goes underground to Tōkyō Station, its final destination.
We hope you enjoy the various landscapes from the suburbs to the city and the many parallel trains.
Please look forward to further updates!
