[edit] Dates seem wrong, and other queries

In this sentence, the years seem wrong: "Japan Rail Group opened overseas offices in New York and Paris in 1964 and 1965 ..." The 6 companies did not exist back then.

Also, what does "the 6 Japan Rail companies and 4 companies in the group" mean -- especially "4 companies"? Which 4 companies?

Finally, sometime in the early 1990s I think it was, I recall that JR stopped doing freight completely. I may be wrong on this, but I seem to recall this. If it's true, I would think this article should mention it.

I have deleted the section in question, as, even if it is correct, it is not relevant to an article about JR Freight.

JR Freight is still very much in operation, so I don't know where you heard about freight operations ending. DAJF 02:09, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
