Dates seem wrong, and other queries[edit]

In this sentence, the years seem wrong: "Japan Rail Group opened overseas offices in New York and Paris in 1964 and 1965 ..." The 6 companies did not exist back then.

Also, what does "the 6 Japan Rail companies and 4 companies in the group" mean -- especially "4 companies"? Which 4 companies?

Finally, sometime in the early 1990s I think it was, I recall that JR stopped doing freight completely. I may be wrong on this, but I seem to recall this. If it's true, I would think this article should mention it.

I have deleted the section in question, as, even if it is correct, it is not relevant to an article about JR Freight.

JR Freight is still very much in operation, so I don't know where you heard about freight operations ending. DAJF 02:09, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Nighttime freight on daytime JR passenger lines and subways[edit]

Tokyo passenger trains are closed from around 12 midnight to around 6 AM. The train lines are used for freight at night. --Mr Accountable (talk) 16:39, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not WP:PT for JRF abbreviation[edit]

I do not believe that this is the primary topic for the abbreviation JRF which among other things includes the Jewish Reconstructionist Federation. I do not believe that the abbreviation probably has a primary topic, thus the abbreviation should link to a disambiguation page.--173.58.234.86 (talk) 18:56, 10 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Containerization[edit]

When did JR start using containers? Tabletop (talk) 19:00, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to ja:コンテナ車, JNR started regular container train in 1959. When JR Freight was established in 1987 it was already quite common. --Sushiya (talk) 21:59, 27 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
