Not very often comes across a story that literally touches your heart. This story here will make you believe that humanity isn’t dead. The Kami-Shirataki train station in the northernmost island of Hokkaido, Japan has been abandoned due to its remote location. But the train still comes only twice a day to pick only one, yes, only one passenger every day. Japan Railways decided to keep a train operational when they observed that a high school girl uses the train regularly to commute.

There’s nobody but the girl alone, who boards the train every day. Since she’s the lone passenger, even the timings have been adjusted to her school timings. The train’s literally operating to pick her up when school starts and drop her back home when school ends.

It's believed that the services will continue till the girl graduates high school which is probably this coming march. After her graduation, the services will be closed forever and ever.
