      Higashi Rokusen, four stops further down the line. Some really stunning rural stops on this route, but almost no riders...pic.twitter.com/OekQRZFj6W

      Three more tiny stops, then we reach Shibetsu, the first one since Nagayama with a reported daily ridership (370 people per day)pic.twitter.com/IwoDuXM1CD

      Next is Shimo Shibetsu, then Tayoro, then Mizuho, then Furen...none have any ridership data...pic.twitter.com/cbakqOilAI

      ...same for the next stop, Higashi Furen. Now, "no data" isn't the same as "no riders," but you can assume it's pretty low...pic.twitter.com/ftIIdUEcBv

      The next stop, Nayoro, gets 441 riders per day. The remainder of the Soya Main Line, from here to Wakkanai, is facing closure.pic.twitter.com/fjiFAmiqnj

      The part we've looked at so far, despite low ridership, is at least viable as a commuter line to the city of Asahikawa.

      But for the 32 remaining stops...unless local governments along the route are willing to pay for it, they will be closed in a few years.

      This is the northernmost rail line in Japan, terminating at Wakkanai Station (95/day) at the tip of Hokkaido. It's emptying every day.pic.twitter.com/WqHkptPwPK

      Due to depopulation, it is unlikely that local governments can afford to maintain the line...and even if they did, who would ride it?

      @CrudB0nem3al is there a minimum number of trips per day needed or could they cut frequency even more and keep the line open?

      ridership drops much faster than a corresponding drop in frequency--cutting frequency is suicide
