Glitch strands luxury sleeper train during test run in Nikko

Train Suit Shiki-Shima, a 10-car luxury train including a diner, a lounge and a cypress bathtub, had been on a test run Monday when a "breakdown" sign showed up on the operator's monitor, forcing the driver to halt the train at around 2 p.m. The train had originated at Tokyo's Ueno Station. The driver could not detect any trouble and resumed the run. But then the train came to a halt at around 3:50 p.m., according to JR East. JR East officials suspect engine trouble and are investigating.
