Violation
Between December 14 and 17, 2021, the Akita Prefectural Transport Bureau conducted a safety audit of Yurihonjo Railway Co., Ltd. (corporate number 2410001005244), headquartered in Yurihonjo City, Akita Prefecture. The audit revealed violations of the Railway Business Act, specifically regarding unauthorized changes to railway facilities and rolling stock, inadequate maintenance management, and unsafe infrastructure conditions affecting public safety. The bureau has issued administrative guidance, requiring the company to implement corrective measures, investigate underlying causes, and establish preventive procedures to prevent recurrence. The company must report on the measures taken by May 9, 2022. Key violations include: 1. Unauthorized modifications to railway facilities and vehicles without following the procedures stipulated in Article 12 and 13 of the Railway Business Act, such as changes to track materials, signaling equipment, and onboard wireless communication systems. 2. Inadequate maintenance and inspection of railway infrastructure, including failure to conduct periodic inspections of signaling power supplies, track alignment, ballast conditions, and structural clearances, despite exceeding maintenance standards. 3. Unsafe conditions at public facilities, such as leaning concrete lighting poles at Yashima Station, faded crossing signals at Iizawa and Kobadoto crossings, and fallen wooden poles at Kurozawa Station. 4. Lack of proper record-keeping for safety equipment inspections and repairs, including failure to document inspection results after repairs. The guidance emphasizes the importance of establishing a management system to ensure all procedures are properly followed and safety standards are maintained, including compliance with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism's technical standards for railway safety.
