[About the Actual Vehicle Guide 485 Series (Kuha 481-200)]
- The 485 series was introduced in 1968 as a limited express train compatible with three power sources, DC and AC 50/60Hz, based on the previously introduced 481 and 483 series. It was manufactured for a long period until 1979 and was active on electrified sections nationwide as a representative limited express train of the Japanese National Railways.
- The group manufactured from 1972 onwards had leading cars with front through doors, the Kuha 481 200 series, and the air conditioning system was changed from the previous AU12, also called the mushroom type, to the centralized AU71 for the Moha 484 series, and the other cars to the decentralized AU13.
- When the Kuha 481 Series 200 was first manufactured, it was used on the Sanyo Main Line and Tohoku Main Line express trains, but due to changes in transportation methods caused by the opening of Shinkansen lines in various areas and the introduction of improved 300 and 1000 series trains, many of the cars gradually moved to the Kansai and Kyushu regions.
[Actual vehicle guide: 489 series (Kuha 489-200 and 600)]
- The 489 series was introduced in 1971 and is based on the 485 series and was modified to accommodate trains running between Yokokawa and Karuizawa on the Shinetsu Main Line.
- As the number of trains increased, the same design changes were made as for the 485 series, and from 1972, the group with the KuHa 489 200 and 600 series leading cars was manufactured.
- As expected, this series was used as a limited express train on the Shinetsu Main Line that passed through the Usui Pass and connected Ueno, Nagano and Kanazawa, and also worked with the 485 series on the Hokuriku Main Line limited express trains [Raichou] and [Shirasagi].
