This collection includes all current Chizu Express rolling stock.

Opening in 1994, the Chizu Line connects Himeji with Tottori prefecture, serving as a crucial link between the western San'in region and Keihanshin. The 56.1km line is the only route operated by third sector company Chizu Express, it is entirely single tracked with no electrification, although it is built as a high-standard conventional line with a top speed of 130km/h. 43% of the route is within tunnels and there are a total of 14 stations. At the southern terminus is a connection with the San'yo Main Line, where limited express trains continue towards Himeji and Osaka, while the northern terminus is Chizu Station, with access to Tottori provided by the JR Inbi Line. The Chizu Line had been drawn up as early as 1892, but construction only began in 1966. It was only around 30% complete when JNR halted new railways across the country due to it's financial crisis. The project was taken over by a consortium made up of local governments and businesses, which conducted a cost-benefit study. In the end, it was concluded that raising the speed from 95km/h of JNR plans to 130km/h would justify the increased costs, but 160km/h or electrifying the line would not provide enough benefit. Operationally, the Chizu Line primarily serves intercity travel, with limited express Super Hakuto using the company's own HOT7000 series trains, and Super Inaba operated by JR West trains running through the entirety of the line. The number of local trains is relatively low as the route is very rural, with little local transportation demand. Financially, the line's performance has exceeded expectations, having consistently been slightly profitable since 2010, reducing the financial strain on local governments.

All my workshop mods feature:

-Dedicated models
-Accurate specifications*
-Multiple formations**
-Easily ported to any part of the world

Crush capacity is used for all trains that allow standing passengers, as the design capacity of trains published by companies in Japan do not reflect actual operating conditions and are not suited for gameplay purposes. Capacity will be calculated using the following method, taking into account the seating layout and role of the train:

Urban Trains:
Long: 200% (175% for vehicles below 2.5m in width)
Semi-cross: 175%
Cross: 150%

Regional Trains & All Trams:
Long: 175% standing
Semi-cross: 175% standing
Cross: 150% standing

*Some data may be estimates if the accurate value could not be found despite thorough research, these typically includes situations such as non-distinction between normal and emergency deceleration values, or when the empty mass of a formation is given but not for individual cars.
**For types with only 1 real-world operational formation, realistic hypothetical formations are included.

Any feedback/suggestions/requests are welcome, you can reach me on the game's official discord, or just leave a comment on the mod in question.
