>>1768780>Shouldn't the Shinonoi Line be part of JR Central?Nope since the Boundary Station that separates the Chou East and West Lines between the two companies are at Shiojiri Station, and since Shinonoi Line is in the Nagano Prefecture north of the station that line belongs to JR East.
>I wonder why the Aizu Railway doesn't go to Aizu Wakamatsu? Isn't the town a big tourist attraction?Pretty much all the trains on Aizu Railway do have Aizu-Wakamatsu Station as the terminus, but the majority of the line isn't electrified (only 15.4 km section of the line between Aizukogen-Oze-Guchi and Aizu-Tajima are electrified in 1990) so transferring is pretty much required to complete the journey and I highly doubt Fukushima Prefecture would want to spend money to electrify the rest of the line (Tobu only owns ~2% of Aizu Railway compared to its 20% stake of Yagan Railways).
