Japanese: 「だいせん（下り）1号」に米子駅で長門市駅行急行「はぎ(列車)」を併結する。
English: However, the operating section of 'Daisen' ended at Masuda Station, so the rolling stock was connected only in the section from Yonago Station to Masuda Station.
Japanese: ただし、「だいせん」は益田駅までの運行であり、米子駅→益田駅間のみであった。

Japanese: その際、特急「まつかぜ」・急行「だいせん」で城崎駅以遠発着の列車については、城崎駅より連絡する快速列車を設定した。
English: The rolling stock of 'Kitakinki,' JNR/JR Limited Express Series 485, was squeezed out by reducing the cars of limited expresses nationwide, and some former middle cars were converted into front cars.
Japanese: 「北近畿」に使用する国鉄485系電車は、全国の特急列車の短編成化により捻出され、中間車の一部は先頭車に改造されている。
English: At the beginning of the operation, it merely consisted of ordinary cars so a first-class car wasn't connected with it, but half of its front car was converted into a first-class section ("Kuroha 481") right after that, and the conversion of the entire rolling stock was completed until the division and privatization of JNR.
Japanese: 運転開始当初は普通車のみの編成で、グリーン車は連結されていなかったが、直後に先頭車を半室グリーン車（クロハ481）に改造しており、国鉄分割民営化までに全編成の改造を完了した。

Japanese: 北近畿タンゴ鉄道宮福線電化に伴い、急行「みやづ」を特急「文殊(列車)」に格上げ。
English: Tango Discovery,' which was rolling stock owned by KTR, replaced 'Edel-Tango' as the limited express running through to the KTR Miyafuku Line and connected with the rolling stock of a round-trip 'Kitakinki' service.

Japanese: 1999年（平成11年）10月2日、「エーデル鳥取」・「エーデル北近畿」運行終了。

Japanese: また「タンゴディスカバリー」は京都駅発着となり、「北近畿」の連結も終了。
English: October 16, 2004: With the operation of the Express 'Daisen' ended, one outbound train of 'Kitakinki' was added to the existing ones running in the section between Shin-Osaka Station and Fukuchiyama Station.
Japanese: 2004年（平成16年）10月16日、急行「だいせん」運行終了に伴い、新大阪駅～福知山駅間に「北近畿」下り1本を増発。
English: Additionally, when the accident occurred, 'Kitakinki No. 3' from Shin-Osaka came nearby, but someone pressed the emergency button of the railway crossing near to the scene of the accident, so the obstruction warning indicator was on; the train motorman sensed the abnormal situation, pulled the emergency cord, and stopped the train at the spot just a hundred meters from the site, thus narrowly escaping danger.
Japanese: なお、この事故の際、事故現場に新大阪発の「北近畿3号」が迫っていたが、近くの踏切の非常ボタンが押されて特殊信号発光機が点灯したため運転士が異常を察知し非常ブレーキを掛け、100m手前で停車させたため危うく難を逃れている。
English: March 18, 2007: A total ban on smoking was implemented in the cars of 'Kitakinki' and 'Monju.'

Japanese: 文殊（もんじゅ）とは、西日本旅客鉄道が新大阪駅～天橋立駅間を福知山線・北近畿タンゴ鉄道宮福線・北近畿タンゴ鉄道宮津線経由で運行する特別急行列車の名称。
English: The color comes from 'Green Ogre' that, according to folklore, lived in the Oe-yama Mountain Range that rises above the KTR Miyafuku Line, on which Monju runs.
Japanese: 走行路線の一つである北近畿タンゴ鉄道宮福線沿線に聳え立つ大江山の鬼伝説から取って、その中の「青鬼」にちなんでいる。
English: Despite having only one round trip, the rolling stock of Monju have either "No. 1" or "No. 2" added to their train numbers, apparently because the inbound train formerly made two runs.
Japanese: 1往復しかないのに1号・2号と号数を付けているのは、以前は上りが2本あったためと思われる。
English: Shin-Osaka Station - Osaka Station - Amagasaki Station (JR West) - Takarazuka Station - Sanda Station (Hyogo Prefecture) - Sasayamaguchi Station - Kaibara Station (Hyogo Prefecture) - Fukuchiyama Station - Oe station (Kyoto Prefecture) - Miyazu Station - Amanohashidate Station
Japanese: 新大阪駅-大阪駅-尼崎駅(JR西日本)-宝塚駅-三田駅(兵庫県)-篠山口駅-柏原駅(兵庫県)-福知山駅-大江駅(京都府)-宮津駅-天橋立駅
English: Non-reserved cars of the inbound "Monju No. 2" are very crowded with passengers from the area around Osaka and bound for Toyooka, Kinosaki, Miyazu or Maizuru.
Japanese: 上り2号は大阪方面から豊岡・城崎方面や宮津方面、舞鶴方面へ行く者が多数いるので自由席が大変混む。
English: The train service of Monju rarely increases its cars even on weekends because it has to connect with the Limited Express 'Kinosaki (train).'
Japanese: 土日でもめったに増結しないのは、「きのさき_(列車)」との連絡があるからである。
English: 1988: When the KTR Miyafuku Line opened, the train services below started running in the section between Shin-Osaka Station and Amanohashidate Station by way of the JR West Fukuchiyama Line, KTR Miyafuku Line and KTR Miyazu Line.
Japanese: 1988年、北近畿タンゴ鉄道宮福線開業に伴い、新大阪駅～天橋立駅間を福知山線・北近畿タンゴ鉄道宮福線・宮津線経由で運行する以下の列車を設定する。
English: The Limited Express 'Edel-Tango': It is regarded as the special train to assist the L-tokkyu (limited express) 'Kitakinki.'
Japanese: 特別急行列車「エーデル丹後」・・・エル特急「北近畿(列車)」の臨時列車扱い。
English: Both the above-mentioned trains were diesel cars at that time, because the KTR line wasn't electrified.
Japanese: 共に運行当時は北近畿タンゴ鉄道内は電化されていないことから気動車による運行であった。
English: 1996: When the KTR Miyafuku Line was electrified, 'Miyazu' became an electric car.
Japanese: 1996年、北近畿タンゴ鉄道宮福線鉄道の電化に伴い、「みやづ」を電車化。
English: Additionally, the Limited Express 'Edel-Tango' was replaced with 'Tango Discovery,' operated by KTR.

Japanese: 京都府宮津市天橋立にある天橋山智恩寺の本堂「文殊堂」から採られたものである。
English: However, people undeniably have a negative image in its name because there is a fast-breeder reactor named 'Monju' for the nuclear power plant located in Tsuruga City, Fukui Prefecture, being similarly named after the Monju Bosatsu, which has been worshiped as the principal image of Monju-do.
Japanese: しかし、同所に安置されている本尊の文殊菩薩が由来とされる福井県敦賀市の原子力発電所用高速増殖炉「もんじゅ」があり、いささかネガティブなイメージを持たれてしまっている点は否定できない。
English: In fact, there was a rumor that JR West seriously considered changing the train name because the operation began immediately after the accident of sodium leakage from the Monju reactor.
Japanese: 実際、高速増殖炉のナトリウム漏れ事故発生直後の列車設定だったため、JR西日本が登場間際の愛称変更も真剣に検討した、という話も残っている。
English: "Kinosaki" is a limited express train operated by West Japan Railway Company (JR West) on the section between Kyoto Station and Kinosakionsen Station through the Sanin Main Line (Sagano Line).
Japanese: きのさきとは、西日本旅客鉄道（JR西日本）が京都駅～城崎温泉駅間を山陰本線（嵯峨野線）経由で運行する特別急行列車。
English: frame = first-class car, white frame = ordinary car (railway car), U = unreserved seat, R = reserved seat, *All cars are nonsmoking.
Japanese: ■枠＝グリーン車　白枠＝普通車(鉄道車両)　自＝自由席　指＝座席指定席　※全車両禁煙

Japanese: 京都駅-二条駅-亀岡駅-園部駅-(胡麻駅)-綾部駅-福知山駅-和田山駅-八鹿駅-江原駅-豊岡駅(兵庫県)-城崎温泉駅
English: The 'Kinosaki' train was named after Kinosakionsen Station, the terminal in old Kinosaki Town, Toyooka City, Hyogo Prefecture, as well as Kinosaki Onsen, the famous hot spring in the town.
Japanese: 「きのさき」の名称は、列車名の由来としては、終着駅である城崎温泉駅及び兵庫県豊岡市の旧城崎町、同町にある著名な温泉地である城崎温泉から取られている。
English: Because the name was also used for a semi-express train operated in the same section from 1962 to 1968, this section mainly describes trains that arrive at and depart from Kyoto Station and run on the Sanin Main Line.
Japanese: また、1962年（昭和37年）より1968年（昭和43年）まで現行と同じ区間を運行した準急列車の列車愛称として用いた関係もあり、本節では主に山陰本線の京都駅発着列車群についてを記載する。

Japanese: 1961年（昭和36年）10月1日、サンロクトオとのちに称されるダイヤ改正に伴い、「白兎」気動車による急行列車に格上げし、福知山線経由大阪駅発着の編成を連結開始。

Japanese: 1966年10月1日、福知山駅&rarr京都駅間を運行する「丹後（上り）3号」が準急列車として設定される。
English: Because the definition of a semi-express train in those days was 'an express train operated within 100 km,' two train designations--express and semi-express--were applied to a single train at the same time.
Japanese: 当時の準急列車は「100km以下を運行する急行列車」と言う位置づけであったためであるが、これにより同一列車愛称で急行・準急が並立することとなった。
English: October 1, 1968: With the timetable revision, which was later called 'Yon San To (4, 3, 10),' the following changes were made:
Japanese: 1968年（昭和43年）10月1日、「ヨンサントオ」とのちに称されるダイヤ改正に伴い、以下のように変更する。

English: Moreover, all the semi-express trains were discontinued with this timetable revision and all 'Tango' trains were upgraded to express status.

Japanese: 「あさしお」は宮津線経由城崎駅発着・福知山駅経由城崎駅発着・倉吉駅発着・米子駅発着の各1往復の4往復であった。
English: Kitakinki (train)' which arrived at and departed from Osaka Station via the Fukuchiyama Line, was connected to 'Hakuto' on the section between Fukuchiyama Station and Tottori Station, of all the operation sections of 'Hakuto.'
Japanese: 「白兎」運行区間の内福知山駅～鳥取駅間で福知山線経由大阪駅発着の「北近畿_(列車)」を併結。

English: November 1, 1986: In accordance with the timetable revision of Japan National Railways (JNR) as the section between Takarazuka Station and Kinosaki Station on the Fukuchiyama Line was electrified, 'Hakuto' was upgraded to 'Asashio,' resulting in another round-trip service for 'Asashio.'
Japanese: 1986年（昭和61年）11月1日、福知山線宝塚駅～城崎駅間鉄道の電化に伴う1986年11月1日国鉄ダイヤ改正に伴い、「白兎」を格上げし「あさしお」1往復増発。
English: March 11, 1989: The operation section of 'Asashio No. 6' was shortened to the section between Tottori Station and Kyoto Station.

English: April 1, 1990: As the Miyazu Line was transferred to Kitakinki Tango Railway Corporation (KTR), 'Tango' nos. 9 and 6, which had been operated as local trains on the line, started being operated as express trains.

English: December 1990: The name 'Kinosaki' came back as the name of a temporary express train with the JNR/JR Limited Express Series 183 operated between Osaka Station and Kinosaki Station.
Japanese: 1990年（平成2年）12月大阪駅～城崎駅間を183系電車使用の臨時急行として「きのさき」名称復活。
English: This was because the name 'Kinosaki' was given to a limited express train that was to operate between Kyoto Station and Kinosaki Station in 1996.
Japanese: これは、翌1996年（平成8年）の京都駅～城崎駅間の特急列車の名称が「きのさき」と決定したため。
English: March 16, 1996: With the electrification of the section between Sonobe Station and Fukuchiyama Station and the section of KTR between Fukuchiyama Station and Amanohashidate Station via Oe Station (Kyoto Prefecture), the diesel limited express train 'Asashio' and the diesel express train 'Tango' were discontinued, and electric trains started to be used for the limited express services.
Japanese: 1996年（平成8年）3月16日、園部駅～福知山駅間及び北近畿タンゴ鉄道福知山駅～大江駅(京都府)～天橋立駅間電化に伴い、気動車列車であった特急「あさしお」・急行「丹後」を廃止し、電車特急化。
English: Coupled with the fact that 'Hakuto'--which operated through the Chizu Express Chizu Line instead of trains used for connection to the direction of Tottori Station from Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe--was a fast train, the JNR/JR Limited Express (diesel car) Series Kiha 181, which had become available due to the discontinuation of 'Asashio,' started being used as an additional round-trip service of 'Hakuto.'
Japanese: 京阪神対鳥取駅方面への連絡の代替として智頭急行智頭線経由のはくと_(列車)が速達列車であったこともあり、「あさしお」廃止により捻出されたキハ181系気動車を転用し「はくと」1往復が増発される。
English: While the operating distance of 'Asashio' for the section between Kyoto Station and Tottori Station is 230.3 km, that of 'Super Hakuto' and 'Hakuto' is 253.5 km, which is just over 20 km longer, but on the contrary the travel time of the latter trains was shortened by about an hour.
Japanese: なお、京都駅～鳥取駅間については走行距離が「あさしお」は230.3kmであるのに対し、「スーパーはくと」「はくと」は253.5kmと約20km長くなっているが、逆に所要時間は約1時間短縮されている。
