This train originally operated through the Nambu line until it changed to the Musashino freight line between Shitte and Fuchuhommachi for high speed transport. It is featured with the “JP-8” sticker on each side, indicating it is carrying jet fuel used by the United States Air Force. The train currently operates twice a week.
