Tsunami-Swept Section Of Joban Line Finally Running Again

YAMAMOTO, JAPAN - DECEMBER 10: A Joban Line train departs from Yamashita Station after operations resumed along that section for the first time in five years and nine months on December 10, 2016 in Yamamoto, Miyagi, Japan. A massive project to move a section of track of the JR Joban Line from coastal areas, which involved building three new stations, is finally up and running nearly six years after the 2011 earthquake and tsunami disaster. The section that is back in business runs from Hamayoshida Station in Watari, Miyagi Prefecture, to Soma Station in Soma, Fukushima Prefecture. (Photo by The Asahi Shimbun via Getty Images)
