This is the driver’s schedule for the sleeper special express train “Asakaze”, which JNR began operating from Tokyo to Hakata in 1956, from Maibara Station to Osaka Station on March 5, 1988. At the time, this train was popular for its air-conditioning and luxurious interior, but with the advent of airplanes, bullet trains, and other means of transportation, it was discontinued in 2005, much to the chagrin of its fans.
