[Actual vehicle guide]
-[Super Thunderbird] is a limited express train that started operation in 1989 (Heisei 1) for the purpose of speeding up and upgrading the limited express [Thunderbird] on the Hokuriku Main Line. The allocated vehicles are the same 485 series as [Thunderbird], but each vehicle has been redesigned with blue and pink bands based on white with improved accommodation and installation of vending machines. I did. Among them, the two types, the Kuro 481-2000 type, which was modified by the Salo 489 type, and the Salo 481-2000 type, which is based on the Salo 481-500 type and has a lounge, are both significantly decorated with luxurious interiors such as three rows of seats. We have improved the service. These [Super Thunderbird] vehicles have a maximum driving speed of 130km / h, and by reducing the number of stops, they have demonstrated a speed of 95km / h or more, greatly shortening the arrival time between Osaka and Toyama.
――[Super Thunderbird], which showed a good start from the start of operation, has been increasing its formation year by year, and when the Nanao Line electrification opened in 1991 (Heisei 3), it became a 10-car formation, and some trains were split and merged in Kanazawa, and Wakura We have started to drive to the hot springs. In line with this, the No. 3 car in Osaka was equipped with the remodeled lead car Kumoha 485-200, and its unique gable-shaped style attracted attention along with the use of the 481-200 through-passage, which is the partner of the merger. ..
――The [Super Thunderbird], which has been well received since its debut, was active as a signboard train on the Hokuriku Main Line until the timetable revision in 2001 (Heisei 13) gave it to the 681 series [Thunderbird].
