The Self-Defense Forces and the U.S. Army Japan on Thursday launched "Operation Soul Train," a project to clear debris from stations and railway tracks on the JR Senseki Line in Miyagi Prefecture.
East Japan Railway Co. has been removing debris and restoring damaged railway tracks on the Senseki Line, which connects Aoba Dori Station in Sendai and Ishinomaki Station. Due to severe damage, particularly in coastal areas, the SDF and the U.S. Army Japan decided to assist the efforts at the request of the Miyagi prefectural government.
