Japanese: 以前には全線を直通する夜行列車もあったが、夜行区間が格上げ（急行「しまね」を経て夜行「さんべ」）されたり、夜行区間と昼行区間とが別列車に分断（夜行区間は後の「山陰」）されて、この列車が生き残った。
English: Although the time schedule of this train dates back to the period when the entire portion of the Sanin Main Line opened (it was split during wartime), it became the longest-distance train in Japan when the local train running from Osaka Station to Niigata Station, then the train running the longest distance, was abolished through the Japan National Railway's schedule revision of 1972, which was implemented as part of a series of revisions made during the period of 1961 to 1975.
Japanese: このため、本列車のダイヤグラム鉄道におけるダイヤ自体は山陰線全通時にまでさかのぼる（戦時中は分断）が、日本最長となったのは、それまで最長だった大阪駅発新潟駅行きの普通列車が廃止された1961年-1975年の国鉄ダイヤ改正1972年（昭和47年）であった。
English: This train departs from Moji Station at around 5:30 in the morning and arrives at Fukuchiyama Station at around the end of the day; it takes approximately 18.5 hours at a running speed of slightly over 30 km/h, because of the waiting time for the passing of limited express/express trains and the prolonged stopping required for freight transportation.
Japanese: この列車は門司駅を朝5時半頃に発ち、福知山駅にはその日が終わる頃に到着するもので、途中駅で特急・急行の待避や荷物輸送のための長時間停車をしていたこともあって、所要時間は約18時間半にもなり、表定速度は30kmを若干上回る程度であった。
English: Until it ceased to run, this train used outmoded passenger cars with hand-operated doors, such as the JNR/JR Passenger Car Series Oha 35, JNR/JR Passenger Car Series Suha 43 and JNR/JR Passenger Car Series 60.
Japanese: また、客車は国鉄オハ35系客車・国鉄スハ43系客車・国鉄60系客車など手動扉の旧型のものが最後まで使用された。
English: Because of the mood while traveling in such outmoded passenger cars along with its long running distance, this line attracted the attention of railway enthusiasts, or so-called 'Noritetsu,' and books describing the memories of boarding were written by travel writers such as Shunzo MIYAWAKI and Naoki TANEMURA.
Japanese: その旧型客車の旅愁と運転区間が相まって、「乗り鉄」とも通称された鉄道旅行派のファンなどから注目される存在となり、宮脇俊三・種村直樹といった紀行作家による乗車記も書かれた。
English: As of October 1982, the time immediately before Japan National Railway's schedule revision associated with the opening of the Joetsu Shinkansen on November 15, 1982, the following were the five longest-running local trains.

English: 530 train Kagoshimachuo Station - Mojiko Station (via Nippo Main Line); running distance (operation kilometers): 476.9 km

Japanese: 921・924列車「紀勢本線紀勢本線夜行列車「南紀」・「はやたま」、"太公望列車"」亀山駅(三重県)～天王寺駅（紀勢本線経由）間運行同上442.2km
English: Because of the aging of passenger cars as well as the policy, which had been adopted as part of the rationalization of the Japan National Railway, in order to shorten the running distance when using diesel cars and/or electric cars, the 824 train was split into two, namely the 824 train that runs between Shimonoseki Station and Izumoshi Station and the 548 train that runs between Izumoshi Station and Fukuchiyama Station, by JNR's schedule revision implemented on February 1, 1984.
Japanese: しかし客車の老朽化が進んだことと、国鉄合理化政策の一環として客車列車を気動車・電車化した上で運行距離を短縮する施策が取られるようになったことから、824列車は1984年2月1日国鉄ダイヤ改正で下関駅～出雲市駅間運行の824列車と、出雲市駅～福知山駅間運行の548列車に系統が分割された。
English: The running section of this train has been further subdivided since then, and as of 2006, in some sections, no trains run during the time period when the 824 train used to run.
Japanese: その後、更に列車の運行区間が細分化され、2006年現在では824列車が運行していた時間帯に該当する列車が存在しない区間もある。
English: As of May 2008, the regular local train that runs the longest distance (inclusive of rapid trains) is the Rapid Service 'Moonlight Nagara' running the Tokyo Station - Ogaki Station section of the Tokaido Main Line (running distance: 410.0 km).
Japanese: なお2008年5月現在の日本最長距離を走る定期普通列車（快速列車含む）は、東海道本線の東京駅～大垣駅を結ぶ快速「ムーンライトながら」である　（運行距離410.0km）。
English: Among the trains having no reserved seats, those running between Okayama Station and Shimonoseki Station run the longest distance (two outbound trains and three inbound trains; they become the Rapid Service 'City Liner' in the Hiroshima City Network section, and a train number changes at Tokuyama Station; moreover, an inbound train in the evening becomes 'Commuter Liner (train)' from Okayama Station (running distance: 384.7 km).
Japanese: 全車自由席の列車だと山陽本線の岡山駅～下関駅間を走る列車（下り2本・上り3本、広島シティネットワーク区間では快速「シティライナー(列車)」となり、徳山駅で列車番号が変わる。夕方の上り1本はさらに岡山駅から通勤ライナー(列車)となる。運行距離は384.7km）となる。
English: As for traveling hours, the local train running the Takikawa Station - Kushiro Station section of the Nemuro Main Line (outbound trains only) takes exactly eight hours, making it the longest (the running distance is 308.4 km and it's the longest, excluding rapid trains).
Japanese: 運行時間では、根室本線の滝川駅～釧路駅間（下りのみ）の普通列車が8時間ちょうどで最も長い（運行距離は308.4km、快速を除外した場合には最長）。
English: Rapid Service 'Moonlight Kyushu,' despite being a non-regular train, runs 644.0 km between Shin-Osaka Station and Hakata Station.
Japanese: また臨時列車では、新大阪駅～博多駅間644.0kmを結ぶ快速「ムーンライト九州」も存在する。
English: Rapid Service trains departing from stations of the Sagano Line stop at every station in this section (as for train numbers, they're treated as local trains).
Japanese: 嵯峨野線内から直通する快速列車は、この区間内では各駅に停車（列車番号上は普通列車として運転）。
English: The trains in question don't necessarily stop at stations listed here in all time zones, since some trains run only in specified sections or become rapid trains at the halfway point.
Japanese: ここに載せている駅には、全時間帯において当該列車が運行されるわけではなく、区間運転や途中から快速運転するものもある。
