 The Seikan Tunnel   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The upgrade of the Tsugaru Straits Line was divided into three sectors: the sector passing under the Tsugaru Straits through the Seikan Tunnel, and the two sectors connecting onto the Honshu and Hokkaido tunnel entrances, extending through to the existing Nakaoguni and Kikonai stations, respectively.
The Tsugaru Line between Aomori and Nakaoguni, and the Esashi Line between Kikonai and Hakodate were both local, unpowered lines.
To rectify this situation, JR Hokkaido was given the job of electrifying and reinforcing the tracks to improve the general standard of the lines.

 December 2002 train schedule updates: "Super Hakucho" comes
The re-scheduling of JR lines, including the inauguration of Tohoku Shinkansen extension to Hachinohe, will take place in December, and the companies are now releasing the details.
It is a pity that the new "Super Hakucho" cannot run at 160km/h in the Kaikyo Line (Seikan Tunnel).
Also disappointing is the fact that the fare of "Hokutosei", the night train linking Tokyo Ueno and Sapporo, will increase by around JPY 2000 because of the handing-over of the section of narrow-gauge line parallel to the Shinkansen from JR East to the "third-sector" railway companies called IGR Iwate Ginga Railway and Aoimori Railway.
