Ōgaki Dash[]
At Ōgaki Station, the overnight rapid train Moonlight Nagara terminates here. It is a rather popular service among Seishun 18 Ticket holders, who often use it for long distance travelling, so after getting off the Moonlight Nagara, these Ticket holders would change for other trains heading further towards different locations. Here at Ōgaki Station, the interchange window between the Moonlight Nagara (5:50 Arrival) and a Maibara-bound local train (5:53 Departure) is merely 3 minutes, which is so short that interchanging passengers often have to dash up the stairs, across the overpass towards the opposite platform, run down the stairs again, just so they can board the local train as soon as possible, to secure a seat after the exhausting journey on the Moonlight Nagara. This is dubbed as the Ōgaki Dash (大垣ダッシュ). For 18 Ticket holders, interchange windows can be so tight that the Ōgaki Dash is inevitable. Some passengers even specifically picked particular seats on board the Moonlight Nagara, just so they can get off the train at the nearest exit to the stairs. JR Central, in response to the Ōgaki Dash, has put up signs that warn passenger not to run.
Previously used sign that says "In station area: Speed limit 10 km/h"
Currently used sign that says "Dangerous! Please do not run!"
