Votations are closed and the first winner is...

"Furniture Industry Route", by meruhen205. With the diverse routes shown and the attention to details (including the music!), it is no wonder why it is the most voted video - a total of 14 votes. Congratulations!

In the second position we have "Akiwa Tsuneyama Main Line Local Service from Nakahara to Yamano" ~~(have you read it to the end?)~~ with 8 votes by danivenk, another greatly produced video. Good job!
