Overnight trains 2012/12/6 23:45
Can someone explains what is moonlight train?
Wikipedia explain the following re Kitaguni train ;
"From the start of the March 17, 2012 timetable revision, regular operations of the Kitaguni were discontinued, with services operating during busy seasonal periods only."

Does that mean that Kitaguni train is no longer operating except during peak season?
Thank you

These are a few overnight train services that are classified as rapid trains (kaisoku), e.g. "Moonlight Echigo" or "Moonlight Nagara". They have greatly decreased in numbers in recent years, and none of them are operating on a daily basis anymore, but just temporarily during peak seasons.

Yes, that is exactly what it means.
