A warning light turned on in the Tohoku Shinkansen Yamabiko No. 57 (Tokyo to Morioka), which indicates an issue with a bogie, or a part supporting a car, while running in Fukushima Prefecture at around 3 p.m. on Wednesday.

The Tohoku Shinkansen line had, again, suspended operations between Tokyo and Sendai stations. Operation was resumed at around 4:30 p.m.

The train service was suspended from around 9:40 a.m. to 1:10 p.m. Wednesday due to a problem with a pantograph.
