Notes
Crew changeovers for the Yumikawa-bound streetcars happen at Densha-jigyōsho-mae — the depot is around the corner — and the points at the depot junction here are uniquely the only main-line points in the Sapporo Streetcar network that are NOT spring-loaded, instead being controlled by automatic time-differential detection using two short track circuits.
