Product Description
──Tohoku's 715 series! `The 1990s
[Actual vehicle]
- The 715 series is a type of train that was made by converting surplus 581/583 series sleeper express trains into suburban trains. The 715 series 1000-type was introduced in March 1985 with the timetable change in order to convert passenger trains on the Tohoku Main Line to electric trains.
- A total of 60 cars, consisting of 15 four-car sets, were deployed to Sendai Depot (now Sendai Rolling Stock Center).
- All motor cars are modified from the 583 series to operate with 20,000V AC, 50Hz.
- Modifications were kept to a minimum, such as the installation of a driver's cab, removal of the sleeping berth, installation of semi-cross seats, and the addition of additional doors for boarding and alighting, in line with the 715 series 0-generation trains for the Kyushu region that had appeared the previous year.
- In addition, measures to cope with cold weather have been implemented, such as semi-automated boarding and alighting doors, enhanced passenger compartment heating, and the installation of snow-resistant brakes and snow plows.
- DC equipment was removed as operation was limited to areas north of Kuroiso.
- Due to a shortage of leading cars, the intermediate cars were converted to lead cars, and all of the leading cars on the Ichinoseki side, KuHa 715-1100 series, were made by attaching a gable-type front end to the Sahane 581 type.
- The leading car on the Kuroiso side is the KuHa 715-1000 series, and this is the only one that still has a toilet.
- When first introduced, the train was painted in Cream No. 1 with a green No. 14 stripe, but by 1987 the paint scheme was gradually changed to a "Green Liner" scheme based on Cream No. 10.
- They were mainly used on the Tohoku Main Line, as well as the Senzan Line and the Ou Main Line, but were all withdrawn by 1998.
