Since it is going to the monkeys, the train is called "Snow Monkey Express"...
...and even the driver has a small monkey on the dashboard so there won't be any doubt...
...as if the other monkey on the side leaves any room for doubt.
And because the Japanese cannot resist a pun, the train's reserved room is called "Spa Saloon" but written "Spa 猿～ん" because "猿" means "monkey" and is read "saru" which in Japanese is the same as "salu".
