Rolling Stock
Kamaishi Line services are operated using KiHa 110 series diesel trains.
From winter 2013, an SL Galaxy Express (SL銀河鉄道, SL Ginga Tetsudō?) is scheduled to be run on the line at weekends using the restored JNR Class C58 steam locomotive C58 239 together with a train of four modified former KiHa 141 series diesel cars purchased from JR Hokkaido (themselves rebuilt from earlier 50 series passenger coaches and made surplus to requirements following the electrification of the Sasshō Line). The diesel cars will provide additional power to cope with the line's gradients. The coach design work will be overseen by industrial designer Ken Okuyama.

Famous quotes containing the words rolling and/or stock:
“Before the Roman came to Rye or out to Severn strode,
The rolling English drunkard made the rolling English road.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“However low and poor the taking Snuff argues a Man to be in his own Stock of Thought, or Means to employ his Brains and his Fingers, yet there is a poorer Creature in the World than He, and this is a Borrower of Snuff; a Fellow that keeps no Box of his own, but is always asking others for a Pinch.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
