August 31 (Thu.) Discovery of cracked railroad ties of the Yamagata Sinkansen (  the highest 33.6C / the lowest 22.0C / weather - cloudy) [Index and Temp.] |
|
These days there is a problem of omitted construction of a house in Japan. And now there is a doubt that they constructed railroad ties of Yamagata Shinkansen(bullet express) made by concrete with omission. The Yamagata Sinkansen, it starts a part between the Yamagata station and the Shinjo station last December(1999) which contained Tendo station. Members of maintenance discovered about 200 cracked railroad ties in this section. Those railroad ties cracked at the center, about 20 centimeter long. There are about 107,000 railroad ties in the section from Yamagata station to Shinjo station. And there are about 70,000 made by the problematic company "PS". The East Japan Railway does not turn a train into suspension because they judge that there is not a problem in service. However, they decide to check these railroad ties in emergency and change them. |

August 30 (Wed.) 75.7%, the use rate of the flight to Tokyo in August ( the highest 32.4C /the lowest 22.2C / weather - fine) [Index and Temp.] |

About the flight between Yamagata and Tokyo that All Nippon Airways operates, Yamagata local goverment says announced that the use rate in August is 75.7%, the best record this year. The average use rates from January to August becomes 61.3%. A passenger of the flight between Yamagata and Tokyo decreased since it became only 1 plane per a day. But the company "All Nippon Airways" promised to investigate an increase of plane if the use rate is maintained more than 70%. In Japan, there is a custom to go back to their hometown in August and the end and the beginning of the year. So there is many passanger this month. But from now tourists decrease in autumn and winter. I am afraid of decreasing passangers. |
