A high school girl was left dangling on the outside of a train for one kilometer as it sped along the tracks, railway officials said. The girl was not injured in the incident, which occurred on the Furusato Ginga Line in Kitami on Wednesday. The Hokkaido Chihoku Kogen railway, which operates the line, is investigating the cause of the incident. Company officials said the one-carriage train entered Hokkosha Station at about 5:45 p.m. on Wednesday. The driver saw a high school girl and boy on the platform, and departed from the station after thinking that the girl had stepped inside. The girl, however, was still outside the carriage, and was left
clutching onto a handrail on the outside of the door, using a 5-centimeter gap near the bottom of the door as a foothold, as the train traveled along the tracks.
