        The Sanriku Railway (or "Santetsu") was established just before the breakup of JNR, to continue operating former JNR lines.pic.twitter.com/o2soxeRC5N

        Santetsu is not profitable--the "third sector" designation means it is a private company that also receives local government funding.pic.twitter.com/jfMKZeVMzp

        Santetsu runs on the Tohoku coast and was devastated by the tsunami; several miles of its track wiped out. But service was restored by 2014.pic.twitter.com/QwxsB6BWQo
