Design plans for JR Kyushu’s new sightseeing train, Two Stars, were released on Nov. 26. Created by designer Eiji Mitooka, the three-car train will wear pearly white with a golden logo on the outside. The car in the middle will be the buffet/lounge compartment, where passengers can purchase snacks, beverages, and so on from the train attendant. The maximum number of passengers would be set around 80. The train would begin operation in the fall of 2022. Source: Yomiuri / Mainichi / JR Kyushu
