Product Description
--The rail bus that has been running through the northern lands, Kiha 03, is back with a renewed look!
- The Kiha 03 series is a vehicle that was introduced as a cold- and snow-resistant version of the Kiha 10000 series, and is characterized by its snowplows and whistle covers.
- They were used on routes with few passengers even at the time, such as the Fukamuna Line and the Nehoku Line, but were retired by 1966 due to their inability to handle large numbers of passengers and the deterioration caused by their bus structure.
[Actual vehicle guide]
- After the war, the Japanese National Railways developed the Kiha 10000 series, a two-axle rail bus, to increase service on sparsely populated routes and introduced it on local routes around the country.
- The Kiha 03 series is a vehicle that was introduced as a cold- and snow-resistant version of the Kiha 10000 series, and is characterized by its snowplows and whistle covers.
- As this type of locomotive was mechanical and could not be centrally controlled, it was primarily used as a single train, but it was also operated in conjunction with two drivers or coupled with liquid-type diesel cars such as the Kiha 22.
- They were used on routes with few passengers even at the time, such as the Fukamuna Line and the Nekita Line, but they were retired by 1966 due to their inability to handle large numbers of passengers during rush hour and the fact that they were built with a bus structure and had become worn out.

- On the branch lines that branch off from the main line, the Kiha 03 serves as a local transportation...
