On the 18th, JR East launched a large-lot transport business for its "Hako Bun" service, a mixed freight and passenger service using bullet trains and other trains. The Tohoku Shinkansen carried luggage from Shin-Aomori to Tokyo as the first train. The maximum load, which was previously around 40 boxes, has now been increased to around 200 boxes, allowing the company to handle large-scale requests.
